Introduction

The National Planetarium started as the Planetarium Division in the Prime Minister's Department in 1989. The construction of the National Planetarium complex began in 1990 and was completed in 1993. A soft launch to the public began in May 1993 and it was officially opened by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir bin Mohamad, on February 7, 1994. In July 1995, the Division was transferred to the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment, which is also the owner of this planetarium. Today, this planetarium is managed by the Malaysian National Space Agency (ANGKASA).
