Indiana's STS 125 Mission Experts Take The Stage

6/18/2009

Indiana's STS125 Jr. Mission Experts have been selected and are hitting the road to talk about NASA. Space Port Indiana and the future of manned and unmanned flights. The next generation of space flight will affect Indiana companies as more private industry contracts are being signed with NASA. Space X Corp of Florida will be using the Falcon 9 to re-supply the International Space Station after the retirement of the Shuttle program in 2010. The number of contracts and potential opportunities for Indiana based companies is high as the spin off industry requirements to get back to the Moon and on to Mars grows. In the next 40 years, we can see the impact of space exploration on Indiana grow significantly. Virgin Galactic will begin offering regular personal space flight in 2014! If you would like to know more about potential opportunities with NASA and other space industry leaders, let us know and we'll connect you with a number of programs. The economy (along with the failure of the automotive industry) is causing Indiana companies to re-invent themselves. Aerospace is an industry that is in need of great companies willing to re-tool and re-invest.
