Rep. Calvert Visits NASA Ames Research Center

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Corona) visited the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center located in Mountain View, CA. Rep. Calvert serves as the Chairman for the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics on the House Science Committee, a position he has held since January 2005.

"Ames is going through a transition, like all of NASA," said Rep. Calvert. "Visiting the NASA centers is vital to understand the role each plays in the overall NASA mission. Ames is known for its work in aeronautics, as well as the life sciences, and technology development. As one of three NASA centers in California, it helps keep our state on the forefront of technology research."

Rep. Calvert has committed to visiting each NASA center during the 109th Congress. Of the 10 NASA centers (http://www.nasa.gov/about/visiting/), Rep. Calvert has visited five so far:

Ames Research Center
Goddard Space Flight Center
Dryden Flight Research Center
