Dr. John Bossard has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, and is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA, having served in technical, management and executive leadership positions for Aerojet, CFD Research, KT Engineering, and Orion Propulsion, before founding his own company, BSRC LLC, in 2007. He specializes in the conceptualization, analysis, design, fabrication, and testing of high energy-release-rate systems, specifically aerospace propulsion systems and combustion devices, providing both analytical and development/fabrication/testing support for project agendas. Through BSRD, Dr. Bossard has been able to support NASA MSFC, the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC), as well other commercial clients in the aerospace field. David Kingsbury is the son of a retired MSFC Director of Science and Engineering, and immediately went to work for Boeing Aerospace while enrolled in UAHuntsville's graduate program, earning his MBA in Computer Science management. Shortly thereafter, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of working on the NASA Space Program as a database lead on NASA's Space Station Program, and joined Intergraph Corporation in 1988 where he became an Executive Director. David recently joined Rolta International as Director of Information Solutions and Sales, and is currently president of the South East Geospatial Information Technology Association (GITA) for Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. The appointments came on the heels of the T-Minus 2 Years and Counting Annual Dinner, which featured the work of UAHuntsville's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) students, who are building a prototype Gemini Improved Reusable (IR) space capsule and Space Science Module (SSM) as part of AIO-50's International Space Science Education Program (ISSEP). The ISSEP is a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program designed to help students again put science experiments and equipment into orbit as part of a privately funded, Huntsville-based orbital space program dedicated solely to education. "The ongoing work of UAHuntsville's MAE students led by Dr. Christina Carmen, is really giving the ISSEP traction," says AIO-50 president Craig Russell. "Guests to the T-Minus and Counting Dinner were able to touch, see, and experience progress in building the new Gemini and Space Science Module, and that inspired some important veterans of Huntsville's space program to step forward with their support. We are thrilled to have both Dr. Bossard and David Kingsbury join our Board of Directors."</div></BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
