InfoAge Space Exploration Center
2300 Marconi Road Wall Township, NJ 732-280-3000
Open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday 12:00 – 5:00 pm
You may not realize it, but since in its original iteration as a NASA tracking station in the ‘60s through later use as a Department of Defense satellite data collection point, the facility intentionally kept its activities on the down low.
Today, the InfoAge Space Exploration Center (ISEC) is known in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) circles for its range of hands-on educational and research opportunities. Scientific instruments at InfoAge include the TLM-18 Radio Dish Antenna, optical telescopes, weather observation and radar displays including satellites, modules from the Apollo Guidance Computer and an American Flag flown to the moon and back.
The facility is open to the public. Special public events are offered throughout the year. ISEC offers a variety of educational activities, including our Space Week summer camp program.
