Upon graduation in 1964, he joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Houston, TX, becoming a mission controller responsible for tracking and trajectory dynamics. In this capacity he was the Flight Dynamics Officer for Apollo Flights 5 and 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14. He was the prime flight dynamics officer for Apollo 13 and was a joint recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom as a result of his contributions in the safe return of the crew. Reed was responsible for developing pin-point landing techniques which made focused lunar research possible. The Apollo 14 crew named a crater on the moon for Dave in recognition of his many contributions to the Apollo program.[/i]
