Members of NASA FIRST – the Agency’s leadership development program for promising junior engineers, scientists, and administrative professionals – recently met in Washington, D.C. The program focuses on developing leadership capabilities and strengthening intra-Agency collaboration.
Veterans of five Hubble Space Telescope repair missions, Goddard’s Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office approaches every challenge with the mantra of test, test, and retest. Simulations and development work in the Goddard Satellite Servicing Center give the team confidence that their new suite of satellite-servicing tools, technologies, and servicing techniques will work optimally on orbit. Shown in front of the facility’s test robots are Adrienne Alessandro, Nicholas Scott, and Krishna Nagirimadugu.
Johnson Space Center’s Mike Ruiz at the Houston Hispanic Forum Career and Education Day inspiring our Nation’s next generation of astronauts, engineers and scientists.
Alan Flint, an aerospace engineer at NASA/Johnson Space Center, is pictured flying backseat in a NASA T-38 Space Flight Readiness Training (SFRT) aircraft to characterize pitot-static measurement errors in order to improve altitude and airspeed measurement accuracy. Alan’s role in maintaining the SFRT aircraft fleet helps to ensure American astronauts are prepared to lead the next era of space travel.

Astronauts Eric Boe and Serena Aunon with safety divers (from left to right) Craig Inderwiesen, Allen Alexander,
Steve Kotal, and Chris Peterman training in Johnson Space Center’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which provides controlled operations to simulate zero-g or weightless conditions as experienced during space flight. It’s an essential tool for the design, testing and development of the International Space Station and future NASA programs.
Members of the KSC Center Operations team observed Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF)
training on April 10th, 2013 at the Shuttle Landing Facility. This annually required exercise
provides invaluable training for firefighting personnel at KSC, helping to prepare them to
react in emergency situations involving aircraft.
