All That Jazz: GE Opens Wind Turbine Blade Test Center At NASA Rocket Factory In New Orleans

There are few places in the world like NASA’s rocket factory in New Orleans, where the U.S. space agency and its contractors are building the Space Launch System. It’s the most powerful rocket ever designed — and may one day take astronauts as far as Mars. Known as the Michoud Assembly Facility, the plant covers an area equal to 31 American football fields, including several soaring high-bay areas where workers stack silver and orange rocket segments like Jenga blocks.
