Ames Research Center is one of the 10 NASA field stations in the United States. It is located in the
center of the Silicon Valley.
The facility has over $3 billion in capital equipment, 2,300 researchers, and $600 million budget.
Ames concentration is research and development on supercomputing, networking, and intelligent systems.
Current Mission: LCROSS Main
purpose is to confirm the presence of ice in moon craters. The mission
will impact the area in order to observe the debris in the sunlight for
water components.
Future Mission: Glory Mission
Set to launch in February 2011, the mission will research how aerosols affect Earth's climate. The mission will measure amounts of aerosol using the Aerosol Polarimetery Sensor. The mission will also use the Total Irradiance Monitor to record the sun's brightness over time.
Location
Upcoming Events
Ames Research Center holds many events throughout the year. Events include job fairs, educational seminars, and even concersts. It is a great venue for any for diverse events.
Job Opportunities
NASA employs scientists, engineers, computer programmers, personnel specialists, accountants, writers, maintenance workers. There are opportunities for internships, cooperative programs and summer jobs.
Human lifes' propose is the endless search for answers. Nothing holds more mysteries then space. The amount of knowledge we currently hold on space is tiny compared to its vast existence. NASA works at developing technology in order to interact with our universe and beyond. No one knows what trult lies where we can not currently see. But with time and dedecation human kind will someday know what the universe has to offer. This is why it is important for great minds to work on developing space tecnology.
