We thank Ohio’s members of Congress for paying tribute to Neil Armstrong by renaming NASA’s Plum Brook Station in his honor. Armstrong began his career at NASA Glenn and went on to inspire generations of scientists, engineers, and explorers. We are proud to share the name of the first person to walk on the Moon. We look forward to working with the members’ respective offices on plans to unveil the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility in the near future and will provide additional details on those plans when available. The facility is located on 6,400 acres in Sandusky, Ohio, and is home to some of the world’s most powerful and capable space simulation chambers that support NASA’s Artemis program and commercial spaceflight testing.
