The Joseph Phillip Loftus Jr. Mobile Museum, located in Stayton, OR, is a unique institution dedicated to preserving and digitizing historical documents, videos, and slides related to space exploration. With generous grants and donations, the museum brings retired NASA engineers to Oregon to inspire students in the fields of science, technology, robotics, engineering, arts, math, and medicine. The museum also features a remarkable collection, including an Apollo Spacecraft Attitude Control Engine, and offers educational programs both in-person and through remote online sessions.
The JPLMuseum is proud to be one of the few museums nationally to have been awarded the R-4D 100 rocket engine by NASA, which is now on display and available for schools to request as a learning tool. With a focus on providing a non-traditional educational experience, the museum aims to supplement teachers' curricula and enhance students' understanding by offering hands-on space artifacts and online resources. Through their RADIOS program, the museum delivers live educational content from Space Center Houston to Oregon schools, fostering a passion for science and technology among the youth.
