To facilitate discussion and information sharing on activities at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, an information outreach event is scheduled from 4-6 p.m., Wednesday, August 16, at the NASA Wallops Visitor Center. The event is free and open to the public.

Wallops’ Environmental Team will be on-hand to discuss and answer questions about NASA’s ongoing work related to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) at the facility. Representatives from the U.S. Navy are also scheduled to be onsite to discuss ongoing Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) training, which is supported on the facility. Personnel will be setup in the back area of the visitor center and no formal presentation will be given.

The Visitor Center exhibit gallery and auditorium will be open for the public to visit and personnel will be onsite to share information on current and upcoming missions.

Wallops conducts information outreach events routinely at the Visitor Center, which is located on Virginia Route 175 about five miles from U.S. Route 13 and five miles from Chincoteague Island, Virginia.
