I was just doing a bit of research and I found that Thomas S. Walton passed away this past February. At Kennedy Space Center, Tom served as a key member of the launch site team throughout the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Programs. At the advent of the Shuttle Program, Tom was a lead project manager in design and implementation of the Launch Processing System (LPS) that supported launches throughout the Shuttle era. When retiring in 1984, Tom was KSC's Director of Cargo Operations with launch site support responsibility for both Shuttle Payloads and Expendable Launch Vehicles and their payloads. |
