Langley at critical juncture

Former Langley employee Doug Dwoyer makes a call for action to position Langley in the future with a new administration coming in. Dwoyer’s call comes in an opinion piece that ran in Daily Press yesterday. View it here.

Our job as a community team is to make sure that the new administration recognizes these challenges, and recognizes that NASA and in particular NASA Langley can be major contributors to meeting the challenges. We only have a brief window to set the stage. Six months to a year from now, NASA’s direction within the Obama administration will be defined.

Dwoyer is a former associate director for center operations at Langley and currently is project director for the Hampton Roads Research Partnership and a member of the NASA Aeronautics Support Team.

Atmospheric Science book is out

“Erik M. Conway chronicles the history of atmospheric science at NASA, tracing the story from its beginnings in 1958, the International Geophysical Year, through to the present, focusing on NASA’s programs and research in meteorology, stratospheric ozone depletion, and planetary climates and global warming.”

Conway was an historian at Langley when he began the book and now works at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He wrote a previous book for Langley called “High-Speed Dreams: NASA and the Technopolitics of Supersonic Transportation, 1945–1999.”
