AIAA Hampton Roads Section Engineer of the Year Announcement
09.24.09
| Dr. Michael Gilbert has been selected as the AIAA Hampton Roads Section Engineer of the Year for his work on the NESC MLAS project. As MLAS Chief Engineer, Dr. Gilbert’s work was crucial to assuring the successful development of a flight demonstration that met mission objectives and provided the Orion project with valid, test-anchored data. Following nearly two years of development effort, the culmination of Dr. Gilbert’s work occurred on July 8, 2009 with a highly successful full scale MLAS launch abort demonstrator launched from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility. Dr. Gilbert will be recognized during Engineer’s Week when he will present the annual Axel T. Mattson Lecture, hosted by AIAA HRS. |
