The modernization of the Lic. Felipe Rivera Planetarium in Morelia, Michoacán, has progressed through significant technological upgrades. Initially, Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla reported that the project was 70 percent complete, highlighting the installation of six 8K projectors and the creation of interactive spaces, including a hall dedicated to Michoacán astronaut José Hernández.

Following this stage, the Secretariat of Urban Development and Mobility (Sedum) confirmed the completion of the new 360-degree projection screen. This renovation marks a transition from legacy mechanical technology, such as the historic Mark IV Carl Zeiss projector, to a fully digital system designed to provide immersive imagery of space alongside enhanced visitor amenities like surround sound and reclining seats.
