EXAM CARD IX
THE NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM
The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, opened in 1976, offers its visitors a dazzling array of flying machines and aircraft never before assembled in one place. An average of 9 million people visit the Museum each year.
Twenty-three exhibit areas house artifacts from the Wright brothers' original 1903 Flyer to a touchable moon rock and a Skylab Orbital Workshop which visitors may enter.
Also included are dozens of airplanes and spacecraft, missiles and rockets, engines, propellers, models, uniforms, instruments, flight equipment, medals and insignia. These items document most of the major achievements — both historical and technological — of air and space flight.
The third Secretary of the Smithsonian, Samuel P. Langley, constructed and tested a number of heavier-than-air craft from 1887-1903. Two of those unmanned models succeeded in flying under steam power over the Potomac River for more than a half-mile.
Interest in rocket research was prompted by Charles Abbot, later the fifth Secretary of the Institution, when he supported the early work of the American rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard. Goddard was one of the first to recognize the potential of the rocket for propelling vehicles through space.
The Building of the National Air and Space Museum is 680 feet (280 m) long and 90 feet (27.7 m) tall. The exterior is constructed of Tennessee marble of a pinkish hue.
Almost all the aircraft and spacecraft displayed were actually flown or were used as backup vehicles.
