Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park Release Project Tektite Documentary
Original: FriendsVINP Produces ‘Project Tektite – America’s Undersea Space Program’
FriendsVINP, the friends group supporting Virgin Islands National Park, has produced a new film titled 'Project Tektite – America's Undersea Space Program'. The project revisits the Tektite underwater habitat missions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, in which aquanauts lived beneath the sea near St. John in research compared to space exploration. The release highlights the US Virgin Islands' role in that era of experimental science.
Why now: The release of a new documentary drawing fresh attention to the historic Tektite undersea missions and their link to the space program.
