At the beginning of the Saturn V Restoration Project, U.S. Space & Rocket Center officials initially thought the corrosion on the rocket was due to sitting outdoors for more than 30 years. While the weather probably did accelerate the deterioration, the primary cause was wildlife-- birds and raccoons that built nests inside the Saturn V and, in so doing, changed the PH and created chemical reactions that literally turned isolated sections of the rocket into latticework.

Conservation Solutions, Inc., the company in charge of the preservation treatment for both the Saturn V rockets at Johnson Space Center and here in Huntsville, finished repairs on the damaged sections and painted the Huntsville rocket before taking a winter break. They returned in October 2007 to do the final painting and to apply the custom made decals.
