Product Information

So we are now able to show a nice array of the ways that Barbie has allowed people to connect with the idea of going into space and then what is actually happening in spaceflight right now.

Makes a great gift for ages 3 years old and up, especially those shooting for the stars, space and discovery! Launch play with the Barbie® space explorer doll, her puppy and more than 20 out-of-this-world pieces that inspire kids to explore and experiment! As featured in a newly-released special episode of the brand's "You Can Be Anything" web video series, the two diverse Barbie dolls have been filmed floating inside the space station's multi-windowed Cupola backdropped by Earth below.Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, after spending several months aboard the International Space Station in 2022. By offering an inside look at the ISS through real life astronauts, Barbie is proud to encourage kids to consider careers in aerospace and STEM," said McKnight.

Two Barbies from the Space Discovery line launched aboard an Antares rocket in February 2022 and spent several months on the International Space Station (ISS).

Unsurprisingly, this doll’s fashion choices were heavily influenced by the culture and trends of the 1980s. As a classified flight, not much is officially known about what the astronauts did while in orbit, however one thing the STS-38 crew did do was photograph Barbie floating in front of a window with the Earth below as her backdrop.
