AEROSPACE COMMITTEE


Working closely with NASA/JSC's Public Affairs department, this committee's focus is on the future of the American Space Program specifically, the overall progress of  the manned space program in general, and NASA's outreach to the public at-large. This committee is ideal for those volunteers who are a part of the aerospace industry and who want to have an impact on better connecting that industry with the public. Like other NSTA committees, this team will host its own events, presenting the technological advancements of the aerospace industry to a public that wants to see it and experience it.
