NASA Alumni League

JSC/Houston Chapter

The NAL Spring Social occurred on May 14. This featured a talk but General Joe Engle. Joe who is a former astronaut who flew two ALT flights on the Shuttle and then two Shuttle missions as Commander.  

We are working to schedule the third panel at JSC with the general workforce.  The first one done in support with the JSC Knowledge Manager (Jean Engle) was a huge success. There was standing room only in the meeting room.  We will reschedule the next meeting in July or August.  A repeat of propulsion panel will occur in late summer as well.

The NAL is beginning a lending library of aerospace books that have been contributed by members.  These books span the age of all our programs - Mercury to today.  These books are stored at Tietronix Software  on Gemini Ave. Check here to see the current list of books. You will also see how to check out a book.  Normal checkout time is two weeks.

If you have other space related technical books that are still sitting on your shelves and no one wants them, the NAL Library does.  Call Frank Hughes to see if you can take a tax deduction from your contribution.

We need your email address.

You can send it to fhughes@tietronix.com

The NASA Alumni League is dedicated as an advisory group to maintain the quality that has made NASA such a great organization since it was created in 1958.

NAL Vision

Set aside to provide a vision of what NASA is and what the NAL hopes to provide to NASA and to its members.

NAL has negotiated with NASA Security to arrange badges for our members which last one year .  Proceed to Bldg. 110 and pick up your badge.

NAL has added a new page that deals with historic records of NASA events.  This material is part of an oral history.  Check out this new area under Historic Documents.  Also check out the web site for that area:
