Apollo Era Technology

It takes more than a talented team - collective support is needed to accomplish this mission. Your investment bolsters the Center’s robust research efforts, energized by the experiences of veteran engineers across the technological spectrum so that TechWorks! is ready to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 17 in 2022.

Thanks to generous support from Congress, NY State, the City, and private sponsors, in 2021 we were able to advance plans for the Out of This World Technology gallery to deliver world-class visitor experiences in flight simulation, avionics, and space exploration.
