Congratulations to 9th grader Laura Song, our grand prize winner for the #Apollo50th anniversary art contest!
Laura is a high school student from Buena Park, California, and created this piece entitled, "Just Wonders" with acrylic and colored pencils.
More than 650 students submitted entries to the contest from all across the country. Their artwork will be on display at the Wallops Visitor Center through Sept. 7.
Thanks for celebrating the Apollo 50th anniversary with us! From stomp rockets to air powered rockets and everything between, we conducted a total of 578 launches in honor of the Saturn V rocket that took NASA astronauts to the Moon in 1969.
This total contributes to Global Rocket Launch's goal of setting a world record!

Sneak peak! 👀
Have you seen the inside of Wallops' brand new Mission Operations Control Center? The MOCC has multiple control centers that can be used all for one launch, or three independent missions – an important asset as the launch tempo increases here at Wallops!
It was used during the recent launch of the Northrop Grumman CRS-11 mission to the International Space Station!
