NASA advisory: quote:
Apollo Lunar Lander Team to Share Lessons Learned With NASAOn July 20, the 38th anniversary of the first moon landing, NASA will host more than a dozen retired members of an engineering team that worked on the Apollo-era spacecraft that carried astronauts to the lunar surface. The engineers will share lessons learned with current NASA employees in the Constellation Program, which will return astronauts to the moon by 2020. The retired engineers are former members of the Grumman Corporation's Lunar Module reliability and maintainability team. They are meeting in Washington to participate in technical discussions that will address such issues as testing, failure analysis and corrective action. NASA is looking to build on the experiences of previous moon exploration experts, including those of the Grumman team. Similar discussions of lessons learned are going on throughout the Constellation Program.
The event will take place at 2:30 p.m. EDT at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. NASA has not yet said if this panel discussion will be shown either live or at a later time on NASA TV. |

This seems very sensible. That generation has hard-earned experience. It's good that the current generation of working engineers has the opportunity to learn from them. |

Along similar themes is this excerpt from a notice that was sent out to all JSC employees earlier today: quote:
Safety and Mission Assurance is offering Apollo 1 and Apollo 13 case studies. The courses will be taught... on July 17. The case studies will summarize the investigation team findings, followed by question-and-answer sessions.
According to the course objectives, each session will discuss the root cause and the factors that contributed to NASA not discovering the problem before it happened. |
