The Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program gives science educators a unique opportunity to interact with all facets of a NASA science mission," said John Gagosian, SOFIA Program Executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Not only are these educators witnessing scientific research first-hand, they're seeing the wide range of professional and technical expertise needed to support that research, from engineering to technology to mathematics. This program shows educators the excitement of frontier science, and it shows students the multitude of career paths within NASA's programs."
