NASA CHIEF TECHNOLOGIST TO VISIT DAYTON'S CRG WEDNESDAY

WASHINGTON -- NASA Chief Technologist Mason Peck will visit 
Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) in Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday, 
Feb. 22, at 2 p.m. EST. Peck's visit will highlight how government 
can partner with small business to help create the jobs of the future 
through investment in science and technology. 

CRG has been the recipient of 18 Small Business Innovation Research 
(SBIR) Program contracts with NASA with a variety of different 
focuses, including projects such as creating inflatable structures 
for radio frequency antennas and, most recently, healable polymer 
matrix composites for future space vehicles. 

One of its earlier SBIR contracts, with NASA's Kennedy Space Center, 
led to the development of a new type of structural patch for a 
variety of consumer uses including Rubbn'Repair, for automotive uses; 
and Rec'Repair for the outdoors and adventure markets. Both are 
flexible, heat-activated structural patches. 

Peck and CRG's CEO and President Patrick Hood will be available to 
speak with reporters during a tour of the CRG facility at 2750 Indian 
Ripple Rd., in Dayton, beginning at 2 p.m. There also will be a photo 
opportunity with Peck and Hood during the tour. 

Journalists wanting to attend the event must call Kim Hewett at 
937-320-1877, ext. 1208, or email her at hewettkk@xxxxxxxxx by 3 p.m. 
Tuesday to be badged into the facility.
