United States – The on Bosco" Technical Institute participates in the mockup restoration project of the Space Shuttle
Downey, United States – November 2023 – The Don Bosco Technical Institute is participating in the project called "Space Shuttle Inspiration Pathfinder", whose objective is the restoration of the original mockup of the Space Shuttle. This full-scale model was originally used to gain approval for the Space Shuttle program and to contribute to the final design. Used in the following years for the development of hardware and software, today it is part of the "Columbia Memorial Space Science Learning Center" in the city of Downey. The Don Bosco Technical Institute is the only high school called to participate in this exciting project. Students, under the guidance of teachers and some former students who played a fundamental role in the space program, will dismantle, document, refurbish and restore, in particular, the landing gear.
