Throwback Thursday Historic Hangar 1

This Throwback Thursday, ahead of Saturday’s planned NASA Artemis I rocket launch, we travel back in time to the summer of 2011, when Exeltech structural engineers returned to historic Hangar 1 at NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffet Field to complete a Structural Analysis Report to update the Structural Analysis & Gravity, Seismic, and Wind Vulnerability Study we prepared in 2008. Hangar 1 is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, covering 8 acres near Mountain View, California. Constructed in 1932 to support US Naval airship operations in the west coast, Hangar 1 was designed and constructed to house the USS Macon airship that was also constructed in 1932.
