AMERICA TURNS 250- Georgia Aerospace History
Georgia—admitted to the Union on January 2, 1788, as the 4th state—has a long legacy of advancing national security, aviation, and space exploration. From World War II–era aviation and sustainment to today’s defense, research, and manufacturing enterprises, Georgia remains a vital contributor to American aerospace leadership. In the Artemis era, the state supports Artemis II through Georgia Tech–led research—an astronaut powerhouse with eight alumni serving from Gemini to the International Space Station—a robust aerospace supply chain, and mission-critical systems and sustainment work at Robins Air Force Base, reinforcing Georgia’s role in carrying the nation forward into its next 250 years.
