Robonaut 1 is a remotely operated experimental astronaut assistant developed by NASA and DARPA to handle tools and other small objects. In 2011, NASA sent Robonaut 2 to the International Space Station.
After onboard testing, a later version of Robonaut 2 may go to work outside the space station, operated by an astronaut who remains inside.

Welcome to a preview of a new exhibition about human spaceflight since the 1970s-people traveling to space, living and working there, and seeking to move beyond Earth.
Like spaceflight itself, this exhibition is a work in progress. When completed in late 2011, it will highlight the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, and look beyond to possible futures in space.
For now, you can view some spaceflight icons and try some hands-on activities to test your space knowledge, explore your interests in space work, and exercise your decision-making skills.
We will keep adding objects and displays, so visit again and watch things change.
Come in and see... Are you ready for spaceflight?
