Stennis is a unique government facility located north of Bay St. Louis along the banks of the Pearl River. Back in the 1960’s the space center gained fame for testing the Saturn V rockets for the Apollo missions to the moon. Today Stennis continues to support NASA and several other government organizations of interest to Phoenix. These include the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVO), the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Center (CNMOC), the Naval Research Lab (NRL), and NOAA’s National Data Buoy Center.
