The group explored the museum to learn about the range’s rich history, especially as the birthplace of space exploration, and toured the historic Army Block House, a landmark in V-2 rocket development.

The students also visited several locations where photography is not permitted. According to their president, Miranda Lujan, these visits help students discover career opportunities in aeronautics and stay connected with developments in the region. The visit reflected the ongoing support for the next generation of engineers and innovators.
