„Verlockung Weltall“: Neue Ausstellung mit Roboter CESAR im Deutschen Auswandererhaus
For the first time, a migration museum explores the theme of space migration, building a bridge to the history of human emigration. The exhibition centers on the question of whether and how life beyond Earth could be possible. Visions from literature, art, and current space research open up a variety of future scenarios on the Moon, Mars, and Venus.
CESAR: Robot for autonomous planetary exploration
CESAR exemplifies technological advances paving the way for future missions to the Moon and Mars. This 8-kilogram rover, equipped with an innovative hybrid chassis, was designed for the ESA Lunar Robotics Challenge, where it won first place in 2008. The mission’s goal was to autonomously collect soil samples from a dark crater, exit safely, and deliver the samples – a true challenge under realistic conditions. CESAR was developed by University of Bremen students under the guidance of researchers from the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center.
Reflecting on the opportunities and limits of space travel
The special exhibition at the German Emigration Center invites visitors to explore the many technical, ethical, and societal dimensions of space exploration. It also examines what lessons the history of human migration might offer for future journeys into outer space.
The exhibition is aimed at space and technology enthusiasts, as well as those interested in cultural history, families, and school groups.
