Rocket and Missile Stands and Launchers
National Air and Space Museum, Suitland, Maryland
The National Air and Space Museum has numerous artifacts from America’s military and space history stored at the Garber Facility in Suitland, Maryland. Conservation Solutions, Inc (CSI) has treated several for them. Work has included cleaning of failed coatings and loose corrosion products, removal of rust, application of corrosion inhibitors and powder coating using original specified paint colors. Artifacts have included:
Little John Rocket Launcher
Corporal Rocket Launcher
Mobile Missile Launcher
Rocket Engine Stand
Each was stripped of parts by the NASM staff prior to our work. CSI transported each stand or launcher from the facility, treated each as specified, and returned the finished artifacts to the museum at the completion of work.
