ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre Space Museum at the historic Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram preserves the beginnings and development of India’s space programme. Its public exhibits cover programme history, education, launch-vehicle technology, applications, international context and future missions, with historic church-and-rocket-site context, Rocket Garden displays and regular films. Entry is free but requires the current VSSC visit application, Canal Gate security and ID checks, and operator-controlled access; launch-day arrangements may extend to the launch-view station, while foreign nationals require a special permit. Check the operator for current hours and visitor rules.
