Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Griffin, who is also a pilot (flight instructor certified with ratings in instrument and multiengine) and co-owner of a small aircraft, states, "I'm looking forward to being part of the world of flight that comes together each year at Oshkosh. EAA has long been a supporter of NASA, as we have a shared passion for innovation and flight."
Other current and former NASA employees will also be present at the seven-day event. A special 50th anniversary display by NASA will also be shown in the EAA AirVEnture Museum, along with a traveling exhibit next to Exhibits Hanger “E.”
Jim Hull, NASA exhibit and artifact manager at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. states, "NASA is proud to be able to display unique artifacts depicting the history of NASA and U.S. spaceflight in the EAA AirVenture Museum. We will not only have objects from the space program, but also from NASA aeronautics research that visitors can enjoy."
Some of the artifacts displayed at the EAA event include gloves from project Apollo, space shuttle tiles and tires, a launch entry suit, and a Mars rover model.
Visitors to the museum also can view models of the next-generation space vehicles, the Ares rockets and Orion capsule, which are being developed to return astronauts from the United States to the Moon. Also on display will be an exhibit about NASA wind tunnels and wind tunnel research.
A traveling display, called "Journey to Tomorrow," includes interactive computer kiosks that feature NASA highlights.
Examples include "Celebrating 100 Years of Flight," which is about NASA's contributions to the first century of powered flight; "Brain Bites," which answers common questions about air and space travel; and a lunar landing simulator.
Additional workstations include a planetary gravity demonstrator and a solar system scale where visitors discover how much they would weigh on each of the planets.
