The ATK Rocket Garden was a display in front of Orbital ATK Aerospace System near Promontory Utah. The company describes themselves as:
As a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, Orbital ATK designs, builds and delivers space, defense and aviation-related systems to customers around the world both as a prime contractor and as a merchant supplier. Our main products include launch vehicles and related propulsion systems; satellites and associated components and services; composite aerospace structures; tactical missiles, subsystems and defense electronics; and precision weapons, armament systems and ammunition.
The outdoor museum had a wide range of rocket engines (or what they called motors) that powered everything from air-to-air missiles, to the space shuttle. It’s right outside by the road, so it doesn’t cost anything to stop and look. It was pretty interesting that you can go from looking at the beginning of the railroads with steam locomotives, to space shuttle rocket engines, pretty much right across the street.
