NASA TV Program To Be Available In The Air And On The Seas







HAMPTON, Va. -- Airline and cruise ship passengers will soon be able to see an Emmy award-winning NASA TV program that shows how agency technology is part of everyday life.

The producers of "NASA 360" have reached agreement with Airline Media Productions (AMP) International to air the half-hour magazine-style TV show through AMP's entertainment outlets around the world.

"We're excited to work with AMP International to bring 'NASA 360' to
hundreds of thousands of the 760 million people who fly each year,"
said Mike Bibbo, the program's producer.

AMP International provides in-flight entertainment for airlines in the
U.S., Middle East and Asia, including US Airways, Virgin America,
Singapore Airlines, Philippine Airlines, Middle East Airlines,
Flydubai and Tunisair. The company also supplies video products to
cruise ships and other users of entertainment services.

"We thought travelers would be interested in learning more about how
NASA technology makes planes safer, quieter and more efficient and
other contributions to their daily lives," said "NASA 360"
co-producer Kevin Krigsvold.

"NASA 360" is based at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.
It is produced for the agency by the National Institute of Aerospace.
In addition to AMP International, the program airs on NASA Television
