Atlas 5A rocket at Canada Science and Techology Museum
Some years ago, I was reading a book on Canada and stumbled on a
picture of an Atlas 5A rocket on display at the Canada Science and Techonolgy museum. I went and saw it in person. Fast forward to reading in Spaceflight that the Museum had closed and the rocket scrapped. I recently looked into it again and found the museum had been rebuilt after mold had been discovered in it. As to the rocket, it had been built in the 1950s and set outside in Ottawa in the 1970s. The weather had taken its toll, and there was concern that even with an air compressor keeping it pressurized, the rocket could collapse. So they scrapped it. A local liked the rocket and shot drone footage of it before it was taken down. It was posted on Youtube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPmplphBQO4 Enjoy. |
