The National Park Service (NPS) on Thursday (Aug. 20) announced that it was providing $500,000 towards the conservation and restoration of the space shuttle Pathfinder located at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. More than 40 years old, the mock orbiter is part of the world's first and currently only "full-stack" display of a space shuttle launch vehicle, and has been viewed by millions of people, including the hundreds of thousands of students who attended Space Camp at the rocket center. The award is part of $12.8 million in Save America's Treasures grants that are going this year to fund 42 preservation and conservation projects in 26 states.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-082120a-space-shuttle-pathfinder-save-americas-treasures-grant.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-082120a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
