I think there’s a great amount of cooperation, even more than may be
expected, between NASA centers.” Coen added. “It seems to me that ‘one NASA’ is the best way to describe the cooperative spirit that makes it possible for teams to reach out across the agency, and receive the kind of support SonicBAT has received from
Kennedy Space Center.”
