NASA's Stennis Space Center: Celebrating 65 Years of American Rocketry

October 25, 2026, will mark a major milestone—65 years since NASA announced it would build a rocket propulsion test site in Hancock County, Mississippi. Now, as NASA works to return American astronauts to the Moon through the Artemis program and to establish an enduring presence on the lunar surface, we are looking back at how it all began right here.

Over the next few weeks, we are taking you through the decades and celebrating 65 years of igniting America’s journey to space.
