H. Stan Greenberg – NESC Academy Biography

Stan Greenberg has 45 years experience in aerospace structures. From 1996 to 2014 he was consultant to Kistler Aerospace, the Boeing Co., and Northrop Grumman on Reusable Launch Vehicles. He was at Rockwell Internationals Space Systems Division (SSD) from 1962 to 1996. As Program Manager in 1994 he won 3 Major Technology Development Contracts in NASA/MSFC’s NRA program for a Single Stage Reusable Launch Vehicle. He directed the study of integrated metallic tank structure–cryogenic insulation-TPS for an AMLS for NASA/LaRC. In 1991 he was a candidate for Director of Large Space Structures at NASA/LaRC. He managed three large space structures technology development contracts for NASA/MSFC culminating in the successful automatic deployment and retraction of a 45-foot long 10 bay truss. He supported the Shuttle Orbiter Crew Compartment concept development and then supervised the structural analysis for its structural design, fabrication and qualification testing. Prior to Shuttle he was involved in numerous optimization studies applied to the structures of the Saturn S-II stage such as 1) Modified S-II, 2) S-II Simplification, and 3) 6 Engine S-II.

Over the past 26 years, Stan has presented this subject course to over 600 Engineers including Rockwell’s SSD, the Boeing Co., Northrop Grumman, the Engineering Faculties of the University of Oklahoma and Mississippi State University, and since August 2012 to NASA/MSFC, NASA/LaRC, and NASA/JSC.
