SUMMARY:Museum to Re-open on Friday\, May 7th
DESCRIPTION:(Alamogordo\, New Mexico) – The New Mexico Museum of Space History\, a division of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs\, is pleased to announce that it will re-open to the public on National Space Day\, Friday\, May 7. The Museum will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday\, closed on Monday and Tuesday. A temporary reduced entry fee of $5 per person will be in effect\, due to ongoing renovation and other projects. Capacity will be limited.  \n“We are all very excited to welcome the public back into the museum\,” said Executive Director Christopher Orwoll. “While we have been closed\, there’s been a lot of work going on and it continues\, so we ask the public to pardon our dust as we continue much needed upgrades throughout the building.”    \nA majority of exhibits remain open\, and the newly renovated “Human Spaceflight Gallery” will open for the first time to the public. Located on the museum’s third floor\, the gallery highlights suits and equipment used for the world’s first excursions to space. Several never-before-seen artifacts from the museum’s archives will be on display\, including two items of particular interest to New Mexico: the Omega Chronograph watch worn by New Mexican astronaut Jack Schmitt during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 and the EKG that John Glenn took at the Lovelace Clinic in Albuquerque just before becoming one of America’s first astronauts in 1960. More artifacts will be added to the gallery over the next couple of months. This gallery is the beginning of a five-year refurbishment to all the galleries and exhibits inside the museum.  \nConstruction will soon begin on a  major new exhibit\, “Science Fact vs. Science Fiction\,”   giving visitors  an unique opportunity to see an exhibit built from the ground up. The exhibit will feature both authentic spacesuits and those used in popular TV programs such as “Stranger Things.”  \nThe gallery will take another two or three months to finish and visitors will see artifact cases being installed and graphic elements being applied. The exhibit will feature both authentic spacesuits and those that were used in popular TV programs such as “Stranger Things”. Currently\, the gallery highlights International Space Hall of Fame Inductee Gene Roddenberry\, the creator of Star Trek.  \nThe International Space Hall of Fame Gift Shop inside the museum will also  re-open on May 7. The Space Hall Gift Shop inside the White Sands Mall will  continue to operate at that location. For more information\,  including online ordering\, visit  www.spacehalloffame.org.  \nConstruction projects either completed or underway on the grounds and inside the museum include xeriscaping along Highway 2001 and near campus buildings\, exhibit work inside the museum\, elevator replacement\, complete bathroom renovations\, electrical upgrades\, and security lights. The restrooms on the first floor of the museum are expected to remain closed through mid-June but those on the second and fourth floors will be open to the public. “Many of the projects going on now at the museum have been needed for years\, if not decades\,” said Orwoll. “Replacing our 40-year-old elevators was high on the list\, followed by renovating restrooms campus-wide\, and many other projects that would not have been possible without the support of the Legislature\, Department of Cultural Affairs\, and our community leaders.”  \nAccess to some areas will be limited or remain closed until further notice\, including museum interactive exhibits\, the New Horizons Theater\, Tombaugh Education Center classrooms\, the library\, collections storage\, playground\, and picnic/snack areas. Group visits\, public programs\, special events\, and volunteer/docent activities will continue in virtual formats only. Reduced occupancy might result in a wait to gain entry. While queuing for entry\, visitors should observe social distancing. Visitors will be required to wear a mask or multilayered face covering.  \nFor more information\, call 575-437-2840 or 877-333-6589 (toll free)\, visit the website at nmspacemuseum.org\, or follow us on Facebook at facebook.org/NMSpaceMuseum/

SUMMARY:October Trinity Site Tour
DESCRIPTION:(Alamogordo\, New Mexico\, April 20\, 2021) – Reservations for the October Trinity Site motor coach tour\, hosted by the New Mexico Museum of Space History and International Space Hall of Fame Foundation\, began on April 20 through the museum’s website and almost immediately filled the six reserved coaches. Reservations are now being held on a waiting list. The tour\, which is pending current Department of Health restrictions due to the pandemic\, is scheduled for Saturday\, October 2\, 2021. Trinity Site is where the world’s first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945. \n“Reservations for the October Trinity Site Tour have far exceeded all of our expectations\,” said Christopher Orwoll\, Museum Executive Director. “We’re very excited to see this outpouring of interest for the tour\, which we feel is an indication of how much the public is looking forward to getting out and about again.”  Reservations are being taken on a first come\, first served basis and will be limited to the number of motor coaches available for the tour. Capacity of the coaches may also be restricted due to current health advisories or restrictions. \nJohnny Powell\, President of the International Space Hall of Fame Foundation which co-hosts the event with the museum\, confirmed that six motor coaches have been reserved for the event. “In past years\, the Trinity Site Motor Coach Tour has filled two coaches and occasionally three\, but with the interest we’ve seen so far\, the Foundation felt it prudent to reserve a total of six coaches. Our goal is to ensure a safe\, comfortable\, and educational event for everyone joining us\, and this October it looks like we’ll have a record turnout.” Powell added that coach capacity was reached April 24\, and that all new reservations will be placed on a waiting list. “We encourage people who would like to reserve a space on our coach to register so that if space becomes available they’ll already be on our list.” \nWhite Sands Missile Range typically opens Trinity Site to the public on the first Saturdays in April and October\, although both events in 2020 and the April 2021 tour were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Several thousand people usually visit the site on those dates. \n“As always\, the safety of our visitors and staff are our highest priority. If the Missile Range approves the October Trinity Site tour\, we’ll work with the tour bus company to make sure all required safety protocols are in place and strictly adhered to\,” said Museum Executive Director Chris Orwoll. “In light of the uncertainty of the event\, we are only taking reservations at this time. Once the tour has been approved\, we’ll begin the actual registration process.” \nThe New Mexico Museum of Space History and International Space Hall of Fame Foundation host a motor coach tour to the site each April and October as part of educational outreach and as a fundraiser for the Foundation. Local historians accompany guests on the coach\, giving an in-depth talk on the bomb and its history\, along with unique insight into local history. Once on site\, guests enjoy a brown bag lunch\, visit to the McDonald House and go on a walking tour of Trinity Site. On the way back\, guests wind down with an onboard movie and upon return to the museum are treated to a guided tour. \nReservations are available through the museum’s website and no charges will be incurred until the tour is confirmed by White Sands Missile Range. Once the tour is confirmed\, those who have made reservations will be contacted to finish the registration process. Tickets include the round trip to Trinity Site\, site tour\, brownbag lunch\, onboard movie\, and guided tour of the museum. The ticket price will be $95 per person\, or $85 for museum members. In addition\, the collectible book “Trinity Site: The History of an Atomic Bomb Historic Landmark” by local historian Jim Eckles is available for purchase when guests register online\, or the book can be purchased separately at the museum gift shop. To reserve your tickets or for more information\, visit nmspacemuseum.org.
