I didn't know Janet Kavandi wasn't the Flight Crew Operations Director director anymore (as of August 2014 I guess?). Who is the director now? |

FCOD no longer exists. It was merged with MOD to become the Flight Operations Directorate.Under FOD, Brian Kelly is director and Stephen Koerner is deputy. There are also assistant directors: - ISS: Ginger Kerrick
- Orion: Jimmy Spivey
- Commercial Crew: Doug Hurley
- CST-100: Kelly Beck
- Operations: Mike Fossum

Thanks for clarifying, Robert. I was out of the loop on that one. |

That explains why the astronaut emblem is in the FOD insignia. Although I am a bit interested how the Astronaut Office, and Aircraft Ops fits into this organization - are they under the rather broadly named "Operations" element there, directed by Michael Fossum? |

The Astronaut Office is one of fours offices under the Flight Operations Directorate. The other three are: Planning, Integration and Control Office, Space Flight Training Management Office and the Flight Director Office. There are also six divisions under FOD: - Aircraft Operations Division
- Mission Systems Division
- Space Flight Systems Division
- Flight Dynamics Division
- Operations Division
- EVA, Robotics and Crew Systems Division
There is a Vehicle Integration Test Office under the Astronaut Office, led by Nicole Stott as Chief.Richard Clark is Chief of the Aircraft Operations Division, with Greg C. Johnson as deputy. |
