NASA Michoud Assembly Facility: Illuminated Logo, New Orleans

The NASA logo is illuminated on the exterior of the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana. Established during World War II, this vast industrial complex was later repurposed to support the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. Today, the facility continues its central role in U.S. space manufacturing. Michoud currently supports the construction of major components for NASA’s Artemis missions, including the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft.
