Jim Voss--a member of the ISS Expedition 2 crew that also included
astronaut Susan Helms, KC7NHZ, and cosmonaut Yury Usachev, UW3FU--is
headed for a new career. Until recently the deputy for flight
operations in the Space Station Program Mission Integration and
Operations Office at Johnson Space Center (JSC), Voss has accepted the
position of associate dean for external affairs in the Samuel Ginn
College of Engineering at Alabama's Auburn University--his alma mater.
A retired US Army colonel, Voss is one of NASA's most experienced
astronaut managers and a veteran of five shuttle flights in addition to
his 163 days aboard the ISS, when, although not a ham, he took part in
several Amateur Radio on the International Space Station school group
contacts. "Jim has served as an integral part of the astronaut and
human space flight program for more than 18 years," said NASA
Administrator Sean O'Keefe. "His contributions to human space flight
are numerous, but even more important, his professionalism and demeanor
have served as positive examples for the astronaut corps." Voss
received his bachelor's in aerospace engineering from Auburn in 1972.
He will assume his duties at Auburn in the fall.
