Grumman Lunar Module (LM) Restoration Team
A group of Grumman Aerospace Corporation retirees and employees volunteered their time and labor to rebuild this spacecraft.
The LM restoration team dubbed themselves "The Spacecats" just for this project.
Another example of their versatile restorative skills—a U.S. Navy/Grumman F4F Wildcat,
a World War II fighter airplane—is already on permanent display in the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C.
