Space Shuttle Pathfinder - Refurbishment

Refurbishment

After sitting in storage for many years, a Japanese organization obtained the wood and steel mock-up at a cost of US$1 million and hired Teledyne Brown Engineering to refurbish it to more closely resemble an actual Space Shuttle. It was named Pathfinder and displayed at the Great Space Shuttle Exposition in Tokyo from June 1983 to August 1984.
