NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville
Since its beginning in 1960, Marshall has provided NASA with mission-critical design, development and integration of the launch and space systems required for space operations, exploration, and scientific missions. Marshall’s legacy in rocket science includes providing the rockets that powered Americans to the moon, developing the space shuttle propulsion system, and managing the development of Skylab, Spacelab, space station nodes, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and many scientific instruments.

U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville
The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is home to Space Camp, Aviation Challenge and X-Camp and is recognized as one of the most comprehensive U.S. manned space flight hardware museums in the world. The facilities include Spacedome Theater, Rocket Park, the Education Training Center (which houses NASA’s Educator Resource Center) and more. The Saturn V, restored to its Apollo era readiness, is stored in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration.
