The Air Force Space and Missile Museum at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is looking to restore its Agena A and Agena B rockets, SpaceNews reports.
Years of outdoor display in what the service describes as "a semi-marine atmosphere," means the rockets are in need of new paint and some general freshening up. In a series of photos posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website in July, the rockets are shown with peeling and cracking paint and patches of corrosion. Now, as part of an effort to restore the rockets, the Air Force is looking for a small business to repair damaged sheet metal, repaint the boosters, and emblazon the rockets with their original insignias and stenciling.
