Tektite Habitat View Port - Public Domain image, National Parks Gallery
Summary
Conceived and initiated in the turmoil of the 1960s, Project Tektite reflected the excitement and urgency of Cold War threats, a space race to the moon and the dawn of a grass- roots environmental movement. Seven aquanauts were trained for the 60-day mission. (Gary Davis, NPS). The Tektite Underwater habitat was in place in Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI from 1969-1970.
