US flagToday is Veterans Day
“At NASA, we owe a great debt of gratitude to those military veterans who have brought their knowledge, skills and commitment to achieving great deeds through dedicated teamwork to our Agency. We’re also quite proud of the astronauts who served or currently serve in our nation’s military. This Veterans Day [today], please reflect on the contributions of America’s veterans. The legacy of America’s veterans is something we all share, and we can all take pride in their dedication and service.” — Sean O'Keefe, Administrator

2nd Annual Geographic Information System (GIS) Day Celebration
On Nov. 19, the 2nd Annual Cape Canaveral Spaceport GIS Day will be held around the Center. Sponsored by the SGS Real Property Information Systems Office, the event coincides with the National Geographic Society’s GIS Day 2003, promoting geographic literacy in schools, communities and organizations, as well as teaching the world about GIS technology. SGS/JBOSC wants to demonstrate how GIS technology is used at the Spaceport, with presentations, demonstrations and exhibits at the KSC HQ Lobby and OSB Lobby, and CCAFS E&L Building.
