The Michael Anderson Mural project on the side of the Westelcom building  on Durkee Street in downtown Plattsburgh.

Michael Phillip Anderson, a United States Air Force officer and NASA astronaut, was born at the Plattsburgh Air Force base (PAFB) hospital while his father serviced jets. From September 1992 to February 1995, Anderson was assigned as an instructor pilot and tactics officer in the 380th Air Refueling Wing at PAFB. In 1994,  he was one of 19 candidates selected from a pool of 2,962 applicants by NASA for astronaut training.  In 2003, Anderson and his six fellow crew members were killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster when the craft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. He had served as the payload commander and lieutenant colonel in charge of science experiments on the Columbia shuttle.  Anderson was posthumously awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.  Please support this amazing new project and inspire a new generation of stargazers. STEAM (Science, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) is for everyone!
