August Lagniappe available

The August issue of Lagniappe, a monthly newsletter about NASA activities at Stennis Space Center, is available for download. The front page shows a photo of Atlantis and is headlined "Journey’s end," right next to a photo of the test firing of a J-2X rocket engine headlined "New beginning," illustrating the transition between the shuttle program and a new era of rocket testing at Stennis. The issue also has a longer story on the J-2X testing. There are also items about the visits to Stennis Space Center by NASA's chief scientist, Dr. Waleed Abdalati, Japanese space leaders and scientists from Goddard Space Flight Center.
