A solemn oath-taking ceremony for new civil employees of the agency was held at NASA's Ames Research Center. The event brought together new staff members, invited guests, as well as NASA and center leadership. The ceremony took place in a notable venue—test section N221 of the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC), one section of which measures 80 by 120 feet. This complex is one of the world's largest aerodynamic facilities, used for testing full-scale aircraft. Following the ceremony, participants took commemorative photographs with center leadership. Such events traditionally symbolize the beginning of a career for new employees in the federal agency and underscore the importance of their contribution to NASA's work.
