About STARLAB Portable Planetariums
STARLAB systems consist of an inflatable dome and an advanced projector equipped with interchangeable cylinders that define the program content reflected from the domes interior. The dome comes in two sizes that accommodate groups ranging up to 70 individuals depending on the mix of adults and children. Two projector technologies cover the most demanding small planetarium applications. More than two-dozen cylinders provide content for space science in the northern and southern hemispheres; earth science including weather, geology, ocean currents, and plate tectonics; biology; mythology from around the world; global bird migration. For specialized topics, one can create ones own programs using a transparent cylinder.
In addition to the equipment, LTI provides its STARLAB customers with comprehensive training and application and programming manuals linked to national learning standards and curriculum frameworks. Many educational community members and STARLAB users contributed to the creation of this support material.
