LONE STAR FLIGHT MUSEUM

A NASA space shuttle simulator that was used to prepare astronauts for the motion of the vehicle in flight has moved again, this time to enter its permanent new home, the Lone Star Flight Museum.

At Houston’s Lone Star Museum about 100 girls got the experience of a lifetime for Girls in Aviation Day.

The Lone Star Flight Museum and the Commemorative Air Force collaborated to put on a special experience for a WWII veteran and Purple Heart recipient.

More than 50 years after it provided the communications link between Houston and the moon, Collins Aerospace is again helping connect "Space City" with the future of U.S. activities in space.

A space shuttle simulator has returned to NASA's Johnson Space Center almost a decade after it was last "flown."

The Lone Star Flight Museum is full of rich history connected to veterans. The leaders of the museum themselves are veterans and understand the importance of preserving that history and educating the public about it. 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and likely the last milestone anniversary for most of those that served in uniform. Events for young children, teens, adults, seniors, veterans and more will fill the summer at LSFM. To learn more about the museum and its many programs and exhibits, click here!
