Welcome to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Michoud Assembly Facility, located in eastern
New Orleans
. In 1973, Martin Marietta Aerospace was awarded a contract to design, develop and manufacture nine external propellant tanks for the Space Shuttle System. The external tank serves as the structural backbone of the Shuttle, and provides some 1.6 million pounds of propellants for the Shuttle’s three main engines.

 Chief Operating Officer - Patrick Scheuermann
The Michoud Assembly Facility manufactures high quality large space vehicles and space flight tanks, currently we build the External Tanks for the Space Shuttle Program. We work with the NASA Program and Project Offices to deliver these products better than the one before, to maintain the facility for NASA and our tenants, and to prepare it for the future. I encourage you to take some time to review this site and learn about Michoud's rich history, the people who work here and to understand how we have been supporting Space Flight since NASA was formed in 1958. |
