The planetarium theater is surrounded 360° by a space exhibition hall filled with scientific exhibits designed and manufactured by Huettinger. The hall has been divided into 4 zones with a hands-on storytelling experience on the topic of Space Sciences.

The design of SCASS is based on the solar system, in which the planetarium building has its golden ceramic roof that represents the sun and surrounded by solar planets. Outside the building is a high-end remote observatory, which was built and designed by German company Baader Planetarium.
