Product Information

Visitors to the museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, can see four iterations of Astronaut Barbie: 1965 Miss Astronaut, 1985 Astronaut Barbie, 1994 Moon landing Barbie, and the two Barbies that went to space in 2022. Unsurprisingly, this doll’s fashion choices were heavily influenced by the culture and trends of the 1980s.

Makes a great gift for ages 3 years old and up, especially those shooting for the stars, space and discovery! We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations.

To celebrate Barbie's 60th anniversary, we worked alongside Mattel Canada to send Astronaut Barbie into space for real.This is a prime example of Barbie's position as a champion for women's equality: she is equal parts hyper-feminine and a successful businesswoman, demonstrating that a successful career is not a masculine trait. This is the version of Barbie that was chosen for Mattel’s Mission DreamStar expedition to the International Space Station in 2022.
