NASA uses mobile fabrication shop to showcase welding, fabrication to students

摘要

NASA is much more than astronauts, pilots, and engineers. Welders, mechanics, information technology specialists, and others keep the space agency operational-it's just that you may not hear much about them. A new addition to NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California has made some of these workers and jobs much more visible. In February the research center obtained a fabrication shop on wheels as part of its in volvement in the Robotics Alliance Project (RAP), a NASA initiative aimed at increasing youth interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
