Andøya Rocket Range

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:00:27

Located 1km south of the town entrance along the road to Bleik, this innovative space centre has a wide-screen 16-minute movie and other exhibits about the aurora borealis (rockets sent up from here aid in the study of this phenomenon) and Norway's role in space research. To really get into the spirit, you can join a virtual mission (one hour to one hour 45 minutes) aboard the Spaceship Aurora and even send up a virtual rocket. Ring ahead to book.

It's all good, scientific fun and highly recommended.
