CT manufacturers contribute tech to NASA, other cosmic missions
Westbrook-based The Lee Co. is one of many Connecticut businesses helping NASA reach its goal for future missions to the moon and beyond. Lee has been supporting NASA and its subcontractors since the space race began in the 1950s. Executive Vice President of Hydraulics Jeffrey Dickey said the company supplied parts that kept the oxygen supply of astronauts safe while they walked on the moon between 1969 and 1972. “The current NASA work gives us a great sense of pride to be helping us get back to the moon with Artemis,” said Dickey.
