collectSPACE Rocket Park renewal: NASA SLS mockup to stand alongside restored historic boosters at Alabama space museumA full-scale mockup of the engine section of NASA's new monstrous moon rocket will soon stand among newly-restored historic boosters from the early years of the space program at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center (USSRC) in Huntsville, Alabama. A ground breaking ceremony with state and local officials, as well as leaders from the nearby NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, was held Thursday morning (Aug. 3) celebrating the expansion and reconfiguration of the USSRC's Rocket Park, which has stood since 1965. In 2018, a number of the long-standing rockets were lowered and removed off property to be repaired and repainted. ![](http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-080323a-lg.jpg) |
