Support Grows for Spaceport Licensing
at Houston's Ellington Airport
 |
|
"Houston City Council Members have voiced their overwhelming support for an effort undertaken by the Houston Airport System (HAS) to establish Ellington Airport (EFD) as a licensed Spaceport. Launches would involve Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLV’s) executing horizontal, rather than vertical, take-offs, departing in a fashion similar to commercial aircraft. The spaceport at Ellington would facilitate engineering activities such as component and composite fabrication, as well as space vehicle assembly." |
As S.T.E.M. education courses have gained traction in schools around the world, NSTAworld looks to make career connections between the industry and those students who have shown themselves committed to that industry. These connections are made through our hosting and producing workshops, tradeshows, job fairs, intermural competitions, intern programs, and more. In partnership with the Inter-national S.T.E.M. Foundation (ISF), those connections become more promising through scholarship programs targeting college upper-classmen who have completed at least half of their tenure in pursuit of careers in the S.T.E.M. industries.
