National Space Technology Laboratories
The area you are visiting today is historic ground. Many important events that shaped the early history of our nation occurred right here along the East Pearl River and around the town of Gainesville.
m
In the last few years history has again been made along the Pearl River. Every first and second stage of the Saturn V/Apollo vehicle used to put men on the moon was test fired here. Today the National Space Technology Laboratories is a unique federal installation. Several federal, state, and university elements are working together in some of the most sophisticated laboratories in this country. The NSTL has become internationally known for a number of projects ranging from application and utilization of space age technology to oceanography. Some of these same facilities used to help man literally reach for the stars are now being used daily to help him deal with more earthly and pressing problems. This work covers the full spectrum of man’s environment ranging from the outermost limits of space to the depths of the ocean.
For information regarding tours of the NSTL, call 688-2321.
