This week goes down in history as we celebrate the 50 years ago we launched the Apollo Eleven space ship and landed Neil Strong on the moon on July 20th. The Apollo 11 mission was launched from Florida, but one of the rocket engines that helped carry Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins was built in Rancho Cordova. Fifty years later, the Apollo 11 mission remains one of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s greatest achievements. The company has taken part in every space shuttle mission since.
