NASA Would Like to Cooperate with Lithuanian Scientists and Businesses

NASA and Lithuania could cooperate, said Simon P. Worden, Director of the NASA Ames Research Center, paying a visit in the Government of Lithuania last week.
According to Worden, the country's science potential would allow a successful contribution to the projects of NASA.
"Traditionally, NASA cooperates with Russian, European and Japanese space agencies. Yet now, implementing the new space policy of the U.S. President Barack Obama, we are looking for ways to cooperate with non-traditional and technologically advanced partners. Lithuania is known for advanced technologies, especially in the field of small satellites. We are considering cooperation with different universities and companies and we expect to implement joint projects," NASA official said after the meeting with Lithuanian Prime Minister.
