Smithsonian 3D Project Sheds Light on Graffiti Found in Apollo 11 Command Module The National Air and Space Museum and the Smithsonian's 3D Digitization Program have uncovered writing on the interior walls of the Apollo 11 Command Module Columbia while 3D scanning the artifact. Unseen for almost 50 years, the markings include notes, figures and a calendar presumably written by the Apollo 11 astronauts during their historic flight to the Moon. The project to digitize Columbia will make these details and many others, previously unseen by museum visitors, available online for the first time. The photo above shows a calendar drawn on a wall inside Columbia. Read more in this blog post.

March 16, 1926 90 years ago, rocket pioneer Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket at Auburn, Massachusetts. The flight reached an altitude of 12 meters (41 feet), lasted 2.5 seconds, and covered a horizontal distance of 56 meters (184 feet). The rocket was damaged on impact. The Museum has a replica in its collection that will go on exhibit in the Udvar-Hazy Center's James S. McDonnell Space Hangar soon. |

SpaceShipOne This image shows SpaceShipOne with its wings in the fully feathered position. The feathered (raised) wing is SpaceShipOne's most distinctive visible feature. The wing pivots up during the craft's suborbital arc in space. This configuration stabilizes SpaceShipOne and also increases drag during reentry to slow it quickly and reduce heat build-up without need for a heat shield. Once back in the atmosphere, the wing pivots back down for the gliding flight home. The spacecraft is on display in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall in this configuration. |
Flak-Bait Featured at Open House During the Udvar-Hazy Center Open House in January, Museum specialist Pat Robinson spoke to visitors about the Martin B-26B-25-MA Marauder Flak-Bait, which is in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar for restoration and reassembly. |
Coast Guard Helicopter in Restoration Hangar This Sikorsky HH-52A Seaguard is being reassembled by a volunteer crew of U.S. Coast Guard employees in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar. This follows almost a year of restoration work by a company contracted by the Coast Guard, Vector CSP, at the Aviation Logistics Center at Base Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The HH-52A was the Coast Guard's first turbine-powered helicopter as well as the first able to land on water next to vessels or people in distress without using awkward floats, making it the most effective air-sea rescue helicopter of its time -- 1962 to 1989. It will be the first Coast Guard aircraft to be displayed at the Smithsonian when it is suspended from the rafters in the Boeing Aviation Hangar at the Udvar-Hazy Center sometime before April 1, in time for the centennial of Coast Guard aviation. Read more about the project.

Building Stars, Planets, and the Ingredients for Life in Space The John N. Bahcall Lecture Series Presenter: Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Leiden Observatory Thurs., March 31, 8:00 pm At the Udvar-Hazy Center
Ewine F. van Dishoeck, professor of molecular astrophysics at the Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands and winner of the 2015 Albert Einstein World Award of Science, will discuss the discovery of planets around stars other than our Sun -- how they form and why they are so different from those in our own solar system.
The John N. Bahcall Lecture is sponsored by the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Hubble Space Telescope Project/NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. |
All events are free unless otherwise noted. Many of the Museum's lectures are webcast live and then archived. To plan beyond November, visit the online calendar. |

| Business jets are often referred to as "bizjets." The design of one bizjet was so significant that for a time it was synonymous with that word. Can you name it? Answer |
