Space center in texas, which does man missions. We provide some of the systems that will fit into that mission, but we are not the Overall Mission providers. We are at nasas John Glenn Research Center in cleveland, ohio. We are the third oldest of the nasa centers. We broke ground on january 3, 1941. We predate nasa by a little under 18 years. Naca, which extends for the National Advisory committee for aeronautics, was founded in 1915, in the infancy of aviation in this country to study this new technology and figure out how we can harness it for economic, military use. But prior to this center, they had really only focused on general aeronautics. They had not really done anything with aircraft engines.

In the late 1930s, that made them a little nervous. Congress approved the establishment of a Third Laboratory that would focus o
