[i]Congrats 105!! Ronak Dave was certified as NASA's 105th Flight Director yesterday and will be known as Momentum Flight! During his first shift, Ronak gave a meaningful speech to announce his team name and reveal his patch - both of which symbolize important values for his team to take to heart. Momentum Flight has both material and metaphorical meaning: from the physics of momentum enabling navigation of the seas and stars to the power of the momentum in decisions that enable us to move toward to our goals. As such, his patch features a gyroscope in the middle, representing the importance of harnessing this momentum and having a balanced approach to working our missions. The Earth, Moon, and Mars highlight human spaceflight in each of these domains, and the view from the Moon features the Tsiolkovsky Crater with the rocket equation written out. The middle of the gyroscope is the flight director emblem, and the end caps are an homage to the FOD (Flight Operations Directorate) Patch with symbols of star shaped orbital spacecraft and launch vehicle. This patch will be on display in the Mission Control Room for every shift that Ronak is leading to remind him and his team of the principles of Momentum. Congratulations Momentum Flight, we look forward to seeing you and your patch continue to bring momentum to FCR1![/i]
