National Coatings Products Provided NASA with the Durability Engineers Needed to Successfully Launch the Ares I-X Rocket.National Coatings Corporation (NCC NCC See National Clearing Corporation (NCC). ) Was Chosen by NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. to Help Aid in the Ares I-X Ares I-X will be a test flight in the Ares I spacecraft development program.

For orbital spaceflights, or for launches into interplanetary space, rockets are launched from a launch pad, which is usually a fixed location on the ground but may also be on a floating platform such as the San Marco That Will One Day Explore the Moon, Mars and More CAMARILLO, Calif. -- National Coatings, www.nationalcoatings.com, was part of a successful rocket test flight, NASA's first new rocket in nearly 30 years, because they used sustainable and highly reflective AcryShield and RustShield products. The highly durable roof coatings A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane. It has elastic properties that allows it to stretch and return to their original shape without damage. were chosen by NASA's engineers due to the coatings' ability to shield against rust, maintaining the exterior's integrity of the rocket while it passes through the salty ocean air. National Coatings' products were also chosen because of their proven ability to highly reflect sunlight and UV rays, protecting the rocket's essential components from overheating Overheating An economy that is growing very quickly, with the risk of high inflation. .
