Barrios employee Zane Goff was recently honored as a Space Flight Awareness (SFA) honoree for his work in support of NASAs International Space Station (ISS) programs at Johnson Space Center. As part of the SFA award, Goff traveled to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to view the recent arrival of the Orion Exploration Flight Test (EFT-1) flight vehicle on July 2. <\/p>\n
Mr. Zane Goff, a Friendswood resident, was selected to receive this award for his outstanding technical leadership on the International Space Station Enhanced Processor and Integrated Communications (EPIC) development. The new EPIC card development and testing enhanced and increased the processing speed and memory capability of the ISS on-orbit Command and Control System computers. Goffs citation stated that he provided exemplary integration support for the EPIC hardware and was instrumental in resolving hardware\/software integration issues that arose by providing workable solutions. <\/p>\n
I am honored to be recognized for these efforts, said Goff. I am very proud to work in this program and with many dedicated friends and teammates. Space is no longer a dream because we build the machines that make it a reality. <\/p>\n
As an SFA honoree, Goff traveled to Kennedy Space Center where he attended the ceremony celebrating the arrival of the Orion EFT-1. The Orion EFT-1 spacecraft, which will fly an uncrewed flight in 2014, will undergo final processing at KSC, including application of heat shielding thermal protection systems, avionics and other subsystems. <\/p>\n
The SFA Program is a NASA managed motivational program geared at ensuring that every employee involved in human space flight is aware of the importance of their role in promoting astronaut safety and mission success in the critical, challenging task of flying humans in space by communicating and educating the government and industry workforce about human space flight. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
