The space stations arriving on the Island

The Manx public has the opportunity to look inside a space station today.

Excalibur Almaz brought the space stations to the Island earlier this year for research.

The company hopes to offer space tourism in the near future.

The capsules, similar to those used at the International Space Station, are being kept in an aircraft hangar in Jurby.

The space stations will be open to the public between 10.00am and 5.00pm.

Last year the Isle of Man was named the 5th most likely nation to return to the moon.
