TFAWS 2017 Host Center
For more than 50 years, the unique capabilities and expertise at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center has been used to design and build the engines, vehicles, space systems, instruments and science payloads that make possible unprecedented missions of science and discovery throughout our solar system. Marshall’s rich history of engineering excellence enabled the development of the Saturn Program that put man on the moon, developed new rocket engines and tanks for the Space Shuttle Program, built sections of the International Space Station and now manages all the science work of the astronauts aboard the ISS from a 24/7 Payload Operations and Integration Center. As one of NASA’s largest field centers with nearly 6,000 civil service and contractor employees, Marshall Space Flight Center is leading the development of the Space Launch System, the most powerful rocket ever designed to carry human explorers, their equipment and science payloads deeper into space than ever before.
