The Wenchang Aerospace Science Museum is an early comprehensive theme exhibition hall in Hainan that showcases aerospace culture, historical events, and commemorative collections. It is located at Building 25, Aerospace Modern City, 169 Wenwei Road, Wenchang City, Hainan Province. It is about 24 kilometers away from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center. It mainly includes three floors of exhibition halls, sales exhibition halls, technical rooms, service facilities, and office rooms. The aerospace science museum vividly displays the past, present, and future of China’s aerospace industry through diversified display methods. The science museum is divided into three major exhibition areas and an aerospace breeding park. The exhibition area on the first floor is the ’60-year Popular Science Exhibition of China’s Aerospace’. The exhibition area on the second floor is the ‘Special Exhibition on Qian Xuesen, a People’s Scientist’. The exhibition area on the third floor is the ’60-year Aerospace Philatelic Exhibition of Postal Transmission to Space’. The exhibition area of the aerospace breeding park is for aerospace breeding plants. The exhibition area on the first floor is about the development process and brilliant achievements of China’s aerospace. This exhibition area shows China’s aerospace’s 60-year arduous, magnificent, and brilliant development process through the chronicle of major events in China’s aerospace in the past 60 years. With precious historical materials, it vividly records the unremitting efforts of the Chinese people on the road to space, allowing tourists to witness the elegance of China’s aerospace standing among the world’s aerospace powers. Here is the exciting manned spaceflight project. Astronauts after astronaut drive Shenzhou towards space. Here is the lunar exploration project that explores the unknown. Following the three steps of orbiting, landing, and returning, step by step to land on the moon. Constant exploration and continuous progress cultivate future engineers and forge firm patriotism. Here is the magnificent rendezvous of Tiangong and Shenzhou. The fascinating space travel starts here, and future space applications set sail from here. The exhibition area on the second floor is a commemorative exhibition on Qian Xuesen, a people’s scientist and a meritorious figure of ‘two bombs and one satellite’, and his deeds. In his magnificent life journey of nearly a century, Qian Xuesen has always closely linked his dreams with the dreams of the country and the nation. He has been persistently pursuing and selflessly devoting himself to conquering space, rejuvenating the nation, and strengthening the country. Here are not only complete historical materials that truly reproduce Qian Xuesen’s life, but also a reenactment of Qian Xuesen’s study. The study is simple and unadorned, showing Qian Xuesen’s life free from fame and fortune. The stone statue of Qian Xuesen on the table even conveys to us a scientist’s deep thinking about the cause of the motherland. After tourists browse the life experiences of the scientist, we also provide a video hall that can accommodate about 50 people to vividly show Qian Xuesen’s legendary life to tourists in the form of videos. The exhibition area on the third floor is the ’60-year Aerospace Philatelic Exhibition of Postal Transmission to Space’ with rich philatelic items. It shows the entrepreneurship, development process and achievements of China’s aerospace in the form of philatelic items. In the past 60 years, following the footsteps of the development and growth of China’s aerospace, China’s postal department and relevant units have printed a series of commemorative stamps and commemorative envelopes and other philatelic items.
These philatelic items record the glorious history of China’s aerospace, reflect the development appearance of China’s aerospace, and witness the great achievements made by China’s aerospace. The small stamp with a small area and the inconspicuous commemorative envelope. When they are gathered together, people can see a brilliant picture of the development of China’s aerospace. This exhibition area has a geographical location map of the major units affiliated to the China Aerospace System, signed envelopes of important activities of China Aerospace over the years, brief introductions of twenty-three meritorious figures of ‘two bombs and one satellite’, and exquisite books related to aerospace. Through philatelic items, the history of aerospace is told in detail.
Part of the exhibition area on the third floor is an activity hall that can accommodate about 150 people. Rich video resources and professional coaches present a science popularization event. Tourists can carry out various aerospace-themed activities such as hands-on aerospace activities, small classroom and large lectures, and reports, and show various documentaries related to aerospace.
