Boeing Delta III RocketA Delta III rocket is now on permanent display at the north end of the Discovery Science Center parking lot. The rocket was donated by The Boeing Company. Pratt and Whitney donated the RL10B-2 cryogenic engine. The rocket, rising 85 feet in its location adjacent to the Interstate Five, represents the contribution made by Southern California companies and individuals toward the conquest of space.
The restored rocket has found a permanent home at Discovery Center thanks to The Boeing Company, Pratt and Whitney, the City of Santa Ana, and the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.
