RELEASE: 98-163
ARTHUR STEPHENSON NAMED TO HEAD
MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
Arthur G. Stephenson, President of Oceaneering Advanced
Technologies, Houston, TX, has been named to become the next
Director of NASAÕs Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL.
Stephenson has over 30 yearsÕ experience as a manager in
spacecraft and high technology systems.
ÒArthur Stephenson is a bright, aggressive person who will
fight for issues critical to NASA, and who will make sure this
Agency has the best launch and in-space propulsion capabilities
and technical tools in the world. He will bring a wealth of
experience and a fresh vision to the operation of the Marshall
Center, one of NASAÕs crown jewels,Ó said NASA Administrator
Daniel S. Goldin.
Goldin added that Marshall Deputy Director Carolyn Griner
would assist in the transition and thanked her for serving as
acting Center Director.
ÒCarolyn Griner has done a wonderful job at Marshall. She is
deeply admired and respected by the Center staff. With these two
accomplished leaders at the helm, I look for great things from
Marshall in the future. With ArthurÕs vision and CarolynÕs
expertise, they make a dream team for the Center.Ó
Since 1992, Stephenson has been a senior official with
Oceaneering International. Prior to that, he worked for TRW,
Redondo Beach, CA, for 28 years, and last served there as
Director, Space Transportation and Servicing Advanced Programs.
At Oceaneering, he is responsible for the companyÕs work for
government agencies such as NASA, the U.S. Navy and the Department
of Energy, and led the acquisition of ILC Space Systems Division
in 1993. His role at Oceaneering also included overall
responsibility for products and services ranging from astronaut
tools and equipment to space flight robots; life support
equipment; thermal protection systems for launch vehicles such as
the Titan, Atlas and Delta; and special thermally controlled
robotic space facilities such as the crystal preparation portion
of the X-ray Crystallography Facility for the University of
Alabama.
ÒI consider him a very dedicated, loyal, and people-oriented
person,Ó said Steve Harris, who served as Director of Marketing
for TRW in Huntsville.
During his 34-year career, Stephenson has worked on a variety
of programs related to the activities at Marshall, including the
Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle in the 1970s and Ô80s, the Gamma Ray
Observatory, automated rendezvous and docking and the space
welding inspection EVA tool. The Oceaneering services he directs
also include International Space Station robotic system
engineering support to Boeing, the prime space station contractor,
and commercial operation of MarshallÕs underwater training
facility.
Stephenson began his career designing digital test equipment
for Project Apollo. From that beginning he progressed to receiver
and transmitter circuit design, and then to communications systems
design. Over time, he moved to management of spacecraft
subsystems, then entire spacecraft and ultimately entire launch
vehicles.
Stephenson holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from the
University of Redlands. He is a senior member of the American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
