In September, the three NASA centers in California came together to share aerospace innovations with thousands of guests at the Miramar Air Show in San Diego, California. Agency experts talked about the exciting work NASA does while exploring the secrets of the universe for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n

Under a large tent near the airfield, guests perused exhibits from different centers and projects, like a model of the Innovator rover or the Alta-X drone, from Sept. 27 through 29. Agency employees from NASA\u2019s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California; <\/ins>Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California;<\/ins> and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California guided guests through tours and presentations and shared messages about NASA missions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe airshow is about the people just as much as it is about the aircraft and technology,\u201d said Derek Abramson, chief engineer for the Subscale Flight Research Laboratory at NASA Armstrong. \u201cI met many new people, worked with an amazing team, and developed a comradery with other NASA centers, talking about what we do here as a cohesive organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sept. 29, pilots from Armstrong joined the event to take photos with guests and answer questions from curious or enthusiastic patrons. One air <\/ins>show guest had a special moment with NASA pilot Jim Less.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my favorite moments was connecting with a young man in his late teens who stopped by the exhibit tent numerous times, all in hopes of being able to meet Jim Less, our X-59 pilot,\u201d said Kevin Rohrer, chief of Communications at NASA Armstrong. \u201cIt culminated with a great conversation with the two and Jim [Less] autographing a model of the X-59 aircraft the young man had been carrying around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to this tradition continuing,<\/ins> if not at this venue, at some other event in California,\u201d Rohrer continued. \u201cWe have a lot of minds hungry and passionate to learn more about all of NASA missions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Miramar Air Show is an annual event that happens at the Miramar Air Base in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n
