Jim

Jim started his NASA career as a Beltway bandit and has supported a number of contractors (Atlantic Research Corp., McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed Martin) before ending up as a NASA GSFC employee on the Hubble Project as the Chief Systems Engineer for the Servicing Project. The Hubble support started in 1995 and has covered multiple servicing missions: the Second Servicing Mission (SM2), SM3A, SM3B, and SM4. Over the course of that time, he has learned to SCUBA dive for his job, seen several Shuttle launches, sat console for the duration of four servicing missions, climbed all over the mobile launch platform and shuttle at the launch pad, explored the Vehicle Assemble Building (VAB) at KSC, dove at MSFC's Neutral Buoyancy Facility, dove at JSC's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, climbed all over exact replicas of the HST hardware in clean room facilities, operated flight hardware, used crew training simulators.

These are exciting, fast paced, and quite fun missions culminating in the Shuttle Launch and crew servicing of HST.
