HISTORIC SITE 2010

NASA Logo - Great Art - design.png

The NASA Industrial Plant in Downey was home to some of the most important engineering minds and accomplishments in the past eight decades.

From aircraft to missles to spacecraft, the companies and employees that have been a part of the Downey's Site history have delivered on the challenges presented to them, to accomplish tasks that others thought were only dreams.

For more than 70 years the Downey NASA Site was home to the greatest engineering accomplishment in mankinds history. The machines that would carry men to the moon were made here. The dreams of exploration beyond our planet would be realized from here. This website will tell the story of that place - "America's Spaceship Factory "
