I apologize for the quality, most of the photos were taken with my phone in not ideal lighting. I may upload more later if I visit the buildings again. One building controls the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera and has an Apollo 15 moon rock (along with walls filled with space race history and Constellation), one is for Earth sciences (geology, astrophysics, etc.), which has the Curiosity model and some meteorites, and the Mars building has models of everything orbiting Mars and 1:1 scale models of Opportunity and Sojourner.

Yes, that is a clean room and a 1:1 scale model of Curiosity that weighs a few hundred pounds.

I've been meaning to update this when appropriate. It appears that some activity is finally taking place in the clean rooms of ISTB-4, the building with the model of Curiosity.

The panorama shows an adjacent clean room to the one posted in 2012. The image with the more accurate white balance is an updated view of the originally posted clean room. The rooms are filled with equipment, included one branded LACO.

I learned that the actual construction of the OSIRIS-REx's instrument was taking place on the sixth floor and not in the lobby. I'm not sure where the actual components of the expensive spacecraft are now, but it appears that a CubeSat may also be under construction in the clean rooms.
