AMA and NASA Develop a Formal Partnership

AMA Ambassador and NASA Astronaut Hoot Gibson shares his story with attendees of the CSI: Flight Adventures exhibit opening.

AMA and NASA have a longstanding record of proactively working together to inspire a love of aviation in the US. NASA facilities often boast a nearby AMA model aviation club, where they share our passion for flight. AMA has collaborated with NASA engineers on myriad projects, such as the Heavy Lift STEM Challenge, the UAS4STEM Search and Rescue Challenge, the AMA Expo Speaker Series, Model Aviation magazine articles, biographies, and even a dedicated exhibit space in the National Model Aviation Museum in Muncie, Indiana, that provides emphasis on STEM-focused, real-world work that NASA conducts using subscale models to test aerodynamic principles.
