Gerstenmaier Out As HEOMD Associate Administrator
Gerstenmaier Out As Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate Associate Administrator http://nasawatch.com/archives/2019/0...stenmai-1.html This is big news. It signals a shakeup within the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. It's quite interesting that Ken Bowersox will replace him, at least in an "Acting Associate Administrator" role. Effective immediately, Ken Bowersox will serve as Acting Associate Administrator for HEO. Bowersox, who previously served as the Deputy Associate Administrator for HEO, is a retired U.S. Naval Aviator with more than two decades of experience at NASA. He is an accomplished astronaut and a veteran of five space shuttle missions and served as commander on the International Space Station. Not mentioned in the article I cite is Bowersox's experience in the private sector. He spent some time with both SpaceX (as VP of its Astronaut Safety and Mission Assurance Department from 2009-2012) and Raytheon (as VP of its Integrated Information Systems Division starting in 2012). So, Bowersox brings with him his extensive NASA Astronaut experience (two flights as Pilot and three flights as Commander) and executive/management experience in private industry.

Gerstenmaier Out As HEOMD Associate Administrator
Looks as if NASA is getting serious about public/private partnerships.
Gerst was an old school home built kind of guy. Bowersox is definitely something new. I take this as a positive sign. Dave |
