NASA Administrator Michael Griffin will attend France’s Paris Air Show, which begins Monday in the suburb of Le Bourget. Griffin will participate in the opening of the U.S. Pavilion and other U.S. government-sponsored events during the first two days of the air show.

Griffin is also scheduled to hold initial meetings with his counterparts from Europe, Japan, Russia and industry representatives. On Monday, Administrator Griffin will be available to the media at 11 a.m. Paris local time at the U.S. Pavilion.

The Vision for Space Exploration encourages international and industry collaboration as the United States pursues its bold new space exploration goals. The Vision begins with returning the Space Shuttle to safe flight and eventually takes humans back to the moon and deeper into the cosmos.
