The Space Walk of Fame Foundation reports that Albert M. "Al" Koller, Sr. died on Feb. 21, 2014. He was 92. From his obituary: His career at the Martin Company included work on the Matador, Mace, and Viking missiles; the B57B jet aircraft at Shephard AFB, TX; and the Titan 1 missile in Denver, CO. In 1958 he brought his family to Titusville to work on the Titan, Vanguard, and Pershing programs; the Gemini and lifting body programs; and Pershing, Sprint, and Walleye missile programs in Orlando. ...in 1974 Al joined Fairchild Republic in Hagerstown, MD, returning to the Cape in 1976 to work for PRC on the Space Shuttle guidance systems and with USBI for the Solid Rocket Booster thermal protection system. Of particular note and perhaps familiarity with collectSPACE readers, in 1973 Koller built the "Space Center Electronic Map" displayed in the Searstown Mall by the U.S. Space Walk of Fame museum. The map remains with the museum as they seek an appropriate display site. |
