PPG Donates Paint for Final Space Shuttle External Tank Journey
MOJAVE, CA – PPG helped the California Science Center Foundation prepare the final space shuttle external tank for a six-week ocean voyage by donating a military-grade paint matching the tank’s foam covering to enhance appearance and protect against elements during its journey by barge from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to Los Angeles.
Upon arrival in California, ET-94 – the only existing flight-qualified external tank – will undergo cosmetic restoration for display at the California Science Center along with the space shuttle Endeavour.
