One Giant Step

A couple of years ago the March Field Air Museum tried its hand at obtaining one of the Space Shuttles NASA was releasing to museums or educational facilities. While we didn’t get one, we are fortunate that NASA/GSA has found the museum to be a qualified repository for NASA artifacts.  Over the past few years we have received well over 2 dozen NASA related artifacts and now feel the need to expand our Space Exploration exhibit from one case in our exhibit hall to a new Space Exploration Room. Yesterday the museum received an exciting donation from NASA/GSA: 2 Space Shuttle Main Engine Nozzles. The curatorial department wasted no time placing one of the nozzles outside the new Space Exploration room. We look forward to receiving more NASA items in the future.
