FROM SPACE TO SEA: The Navy\u2019s Role in Manned Space Flight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winfred B. Moore, Jr. Art Gallery, Capers Hall, The Citadel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On view from September 4 – December 10, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Mon-Fri from 10 am – 3 pm; for Parents Weekend, open Saturday, Sept 20 from 8 am – 2 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey into space has been one of the most exciting explorations in human history. Playing a key role in the United States\u2019 space program from the beginning, the Navy has been an important partner on the water to the astronauts and aircraft in the sky. Many astronauts themselves have been naval officers. The Navy has also supplied ships and helicopter squadrons used in the recovery of astronauts and equipment. The Underwater Demolition Team members (UDT), known as \u201cfrogmen,\u201d were the first to reach capsules after splashdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the viewer behind the scenes of significant moments from the 1960s and 70s, these drawings and paintings by both combat and professional artists depict the astronauts, equipment, and teamwork essential for crucial missions in the pursuit of manned space exploration. The Navy continues to support the nation\u2019s space program today, building upon the incredible legacy conveyed by these original works on view from its collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
