SSC highlighted in book

NASA's Stennis Space Center and the space activities in this region is highlighted in a chapter of the second annual "Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor 2012-2013." The chapter includes information on SSC and Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, as well as space activities at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The book, published early last month, focuses on the considerable aerospace activities in the region between New Orleans and Northwest Florida. The book was updated this week to include details on the major announcement that Airbus will built an A320 assembly line in Mobile, Ala., which promises to be a watershed event for the Gulf Coast aerospace region. The book is available as a free PDF or in print at cost. (Source: Gulf Coast Reporters' League, 07/05/12)
