At this week’s Heli Expo in Southern California, Airbus Helicopters announced that NASA will take three of its shiny new H135 utility helicopters, making this the “first-ever partnership between the U.S. space program and Airbus Helicopters.” The ships will be used at the Kennedy Space Center to support various missions, including rocket launches, medical services and personnel transport. Two of the H135s will be delivered later this year, while the third is slated to arrive in 2021.
