The Rocket Garden

On our way back t o the campground we stopped at ATK, a rocket development company, to see the Rocket Garden.  That is exactly what it is; paths wind through examples of all the different rockets, motors and stuff built here.

This is an actual solid rocket booster from a space shuttle.  It is huge!  I could see the O rings that they has so much trouble with.

 

 








 This is the separation motor that fits in the end of the   solid rocket motor.

We are sitting under the middle set of braces to give you a sense of perspective.
