CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida has signed a new partnership agreement with Ballistic Recovery Systems Inc., or BRS Aerospace of Miami, Fla., for use of the Parachute Refurbishment Facility, or PRF.

Because of NASAs transition from the shuttle to future commercial and government mission activities, the agreement allows NASA to preserve the unique facility capabilities for future spaceflight projects. Kennedys Center Planning and Development team and the Economic Development Commission of Floridas Space Coast worked with BRS Aerospace to establish the agreement.
