WHERE INFORMATION MEETS WONDER INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS REPORT FISCAL YEARS 2013 AND 2014 MISSION MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CO-CHAIRMEN

It is a great privilege and an exciting responsibility to lead the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. A culture of service pervades this institution. Those who work here carry the legacy of every person who served their country on the USS Intrepid and USS Growler and in NASA’s space shuttle program. Our commitment is to honor that legacy by preserving its history and by inspiring future generations of scientists, engineers, makers and thinkers.

The Intrepid Museum is where information meets wonder, inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. The ship Intrepid is an artifact unto itself, a technological marvel of its time once run by more than 3,000 servicemen. Aboard the ship, learning comes through direct experience as visitors absorb the workings of steam catapults in the very place where planes were launched into battle. Visitors are immersed in historic details about attacks in the exact place where the ship was hit and servicemen lost their lives. Such real-world connections bring history to life and make learning more meaningful.

The greatest accomplishment of fiscal years 2013 and 2014 (May 2012 to April 2014) was The mission of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Co-Chairman Bruce Mosler, Museum President the Museum’s initiative to deepen our impact through a stronger focus on education. With Museum is to promote the awareness and Susan Marenoff-Zausner and Co-Chairman the homecoming weekend to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the ship’s commissioning, we Kenneth Fisher. launched our Oral History Project, a program to preserve the stories of veterans who served understanding of history, science and service on the ship in World War II, the and the Cold War. We saw an opportunity to enrich public interaction with our artifacts by sharing more information about the technology that through its collections, exhibitions and made them possible. Our new Space Shuttle Pavilion, with shuttle Enterprise and 17 exhibit zones that tell the story of America’s space shuttle program, vividly reinforces programming in order to honor our heroes, our mission to drive science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education through inspiration and site-specific experiential learning. educate the public and inspire our youth. On an ordinary day, we are humbled by the dedication of this Museum’s staff and Kenneth Fisher CO-CHAIRMAN administration. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we were amazed by their devotion. Members of our operations team put themselves in harm’s way to protect our Museum and artifacts from the six feet of incoming water. In the eight weeks we were closed to repair the damage inflicted by the storm, every department head figured out how to keep us going—working in tents on the pier, restaurants, hotels and even Grand Central Station— while our staff brought Intrepid Museum programming into the neighborhoods hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. Bruce Mosler CO-CHAIRMAN Thanks to the leadership of our staff, most of the damage was repaired within a few months, and the Museum continues to work on the repair and renovation of the Welcome Center. We are pleased to share with you the accomplishments of the past two years, an extraordinary period in the life of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. We hope you are as inspired by the achievements highlighted in these pages as we are.

To our staff and supporters who help us soar, we offer a heartfelt thank you. Susan Marenoff-Zausner PRESIDENT

Enterprise was NASA’s test space shuttle orbiter. For educators, the fact that tests on Enterprise shaped the course of NASA’s space shuttle program makes it the ultimate teaching tool. Here are facts about Enterprise visitors can learn on tours through the Space Shuttle Pavilion:

• Wind tunnel models, artifacts loaned to the Museum by NASA, illustrate the evolution of the reusable space shuttle concept from the early sixties to the early seventies. Engineers flew these models through NASA’s wind tunnels to identify flaws and test innovations. Enterprise is the outgrowth of more than a decade of engineering trial and error.

• NASA designed the space shuttle to shed its external fuel tank in space and glide back to Earth unpowered. On August 12, 1977, a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft dropped Enterprise from an altitude of 24,000 feet, and Fred Haise and C. Gordon Fullerton maneuvered the shuttle safely to Earth. This was the first of five manned “drop tests” that proved YOU HELP US REACH THE STARS shuttles could glide to landing. Thanks to our supporters, the Museum’s programming in aerospace science has expanded, with workshops for children • NASA used Enterprise to test launch safety. Engineers on a range of science, technology, engineering and math stacked Enterprise, an external fuel tank and two solid fuel (STEM) topics, including robotic arms and microgravity, as well rocket boosters into launch formation and subjected this as new tours and plans for exciting new exhibits.

The Museum staff put me in touch with the Anderson family, and I found out that they were planning to dedicate a Seat of Honor* for their dad, Robert P. Anderson. I decided to buy a seat for my dad as well, and I asked the folks at the Museum if they could put two seats side by side. They arranged it, and at the dedication ceremony on Memorial Day, I got to meet the whole Anderson family. I can’t tell you how meaningful it was to put my father’s name on a piece of the ship that meant so much to him. The whole experience of the 70th anniversary celebration was amazing. I’m still in touch with the Andersons and hope to meet them again.
