The Purdue Board of Trustees voted on May 7 unanimously to hire Dr. France A. Córdova as the 11th president of Purdue University. Córdova's selection followed a seven- month search for a successor to Martin C. Jischke, who retired on July 31 after serving as Purdue president since Aug. 14, 2000. Córdova's start date at Purdue was August 1, 2007. The 14-member search committee included Thomas N. Farris, head of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Córdova is an internationally recognized Neil A. Armstrong presents astrophysicist who served as chancellor of University of California, Riverside since 2002, coming from the University of California at Jischke with award Santa Barbara where she had been vice chancellor for research and a professor of physics for six years. Before that, she was The Purdue University community, as well the youngest person to hold the position as local and area officials celebrated the conclusion of NASA chief scientist, working on projects of the Campaign for Purdue and the presidency of that included the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Armstrong Medal will be given at the trustees' discretion, based on the recommendation of a seven-member committee to be appointed in the future by the university's president. The final committee recommendations will be subject to review and approval by Armstrong prior to being submitted to the president. In future years, the medal will be presented by Armstrong or his designee at the annual University Honors Convocation. In addition to the Armstrong Medal, Jischke was presented with a Sagamore of the Wabash, the highest honor that the governor of Indiana bestows. It is traditionally awarded to those who have rendered a distinguished service to the state or to the governor. Among those who have received Sagamores have been astronauts, presidents, ambassadors, artists, musicians, politicians and others who have contributed to Hoosier heritage.

7 Harbaugh Headlines Purdue Space Day 2006 More than 600 youngsters from three states attended Purdue Fall Space Day on November 11, 2006, where they met astronaut Gregory Harbaugh BSAAE ’78 and participated in several space-related activities. In addition to the students from 104 different schools and from the home-school program, 20 students from Science Bound also attended. The Purdue Fall Space Day was created in 1996 as an educational outreach activity for students in grades 3 to 8. Participants learn about astronautics and space exploration through hands-on experiences that help to foster an interest in science and engineering. The program is also a professional development program for the students who lead and direct it. Now in its 12th year, the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics co-hosts the event and Purdue Space Day has now become an independent Student Organization. The Purdue Space Day Advisory Board was created in September 2006; past directors make up the Advisory Board who advises on the growth and direction of the program. (See opposite page). Harbaugh became an astronaut in 1988, and his flight experience includes several missions: STS-39 Discovery, STS-54 Endeavour, STS-71 Atlantis, and STS-82 Discovery. He interacted with attending students throughout Fall Space Day’s various activities.

11 William H. Gerstenmaier Distinguished Engineering Alumni20 07 NASA's Associate Administrator, William H. Gerstenmaier (BSAAE’77; OAE’03) was on campus February 23rd and received the College of Engineering's Distinguished Engineering Alumnus Award for 2007. This award, given out annually to an alumnus of each School within the College of Engineering, recognizes alumni who have significantly contributed to the advancement in their respective fields. Gerstenmaier is also working with University officials to place NASA artifacts in the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering's atrium. As associate administrator for the Space Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters, Gerstenmaier directs NASA's human exploration of space and also has programmatic oversight for the International Space Station, Space Shuttle, Space Communications and Space Launch Vehicles. Gerstenmaier began his NASA career in 1977 at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland performing aeronautical research and was involved with wind tunnel tests on the Space Shuttle. In 1980, he joined the Space Shuttle program as propulsion flight controller, and in 1992 Gerstenmaier got his first managerial assignment for the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle project at JSC. While he was on campus, Gerstenmaier also visited Prof. Wayne Chen’s AAE 204 class, and a reception with AAE faculty, staff and tudents in Grissom Hall. Gerstenmaier received a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University in 1977 and a master's degree Bill Gerstenmaier and head of school Prof. Tom Farris in mechanical engineering from the University of Toledo, Ohio, in 1981. In 1993, he completed course work at Purdue for a doctorate in dynamics and control, with a minor in propulsion.

AAE Alumni inducted to Purdue's ROTC Hall of Fame Howard E. Bethel, Ph.D., PE COLONEL, U.S. AIR FORCE (RETIRED) BSAE’61

Six alumni were inducted into the Purdue University Reserve Officer's Training Corps Hall of Fame on Saturday April 14, 2007. Included in the inductees was a School of Aeronautics & Astronautics alumnus, Col. Howard E. Bethel, Air Force, BSAE ‘61. Following graduation, Bethel entered active duty at Purdue to pursue graduate work and obtained his master's degree in engineering. He then was assigned to the Aerospace Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where he earned his doctorate and was recognized for his work by the Office of Aerospace Research and the Air Force Association. Bethel's work on the engine of the new F-16 garnered many accolades, and he was promoted to deputy commander for propulsion, where was responsible for the design, development, test and initial operational support of all Air Force engines. After retirement, he joined Universal Technology Corp. in Dayton, Ohio. The Hall of Fame was established in 1974 to recognize Purdue's Army ROTC graduates who have distinguished themselves through leadership, integrity, courage and discipline. In 1999 the bylaws were amended to include the recognition of distinguished alumni from all Purdue ROTC programs. Service to the nation and community and leadership in the fields of business, government, education or other professional fields are used as the basis for selection. More than 150 former Purdue ROTC students have been inducted.

Dr. Marty Ferman, Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology at Saint Louis University, has received a U.S. patent on his “Device and Method of Control of Fixed and Variable Geometry Rhomboid Wings.” With its adaptability to fixed or variable wing geometry, the design allows for an improved aerodynamic body that can eliminate or at least minimize the importance Dr. Marty Ferman’s Patented Rhomboid of control surfaces (ailerons and flaps). It uses internal Wing Design torsion bars to effect changes in the wing twist, which in turn changes the wing air loads, thus controlling the maneuvering and stability of the body.

Lana Couch passed away on April 22, 2007 at the age of 65. As a student at Purdue, Lana was most interested in experimental research using wind tunnels to generate data on airplanes and rockets. She found Professor Cargnino was very helpful throughout her four years and Professor Gustafson taught the first course she had on boundary layer flow. She found that area to be extremely interesting and went on to concentrate her research of fluid mechanics, in combination with heat transfer. Lana graduated with a degree in aeronautical engineering in 1963 finding herself very much in the minority in the engineering profession. When she came back to Purdue in 1990 to speak at a Society of Women Engineers banquet, she was amazed at the number of women engineers. Her goal was to work for NASA, and was employed by NASA, Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. and NASA Headquarters in Lana M. Couch Washington, D.C. from 1963 through 2003. She started her career BSAE’63; DEA’94; OAE’99 as a wind tunnel test engineer and advanced through a series of increasingly responsible technical and management positions to retire Mathews, Va., formerly of Martinsville in 2003 as the Associate Director for Business Management at NASA Langley Research Center. She was a member of the Senior Executive Nov. 27, 1941 – April 22, 2007 Service and a Purdue University Distinguished Engineering Alumnus. She was a Fellow of the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. She was the holder of several U. S. and international patents for improvements to wind tunnel design and was the author of many technical papers. She was also the recipient of numerous technical and management awards for her contributions to NASA and to aeronautical sciences including the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal and the NASA Equal Employment Opportunity Medal. Lana was strong supporter of Purdue University and the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics. A memorial service was held on April 26, 2007. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Richard H. Couch of Mathews, VA

15 The Industrial Advisory Council (IAC)

The Industrial Advisory Council (IAC) serves an important role in the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics. The success of our programs depends on strong support from industry and the Industrial Advisory Council serves as a link between industry and the university.

Dr. David Filmer – Amateur Radio Front Cover Dr. David Filmer made the front cover of the November 2006 edition of Amateur Radio. In the photo, he holds the “spaceframe” and tape –measure antenna for the tiny “CubeSat” satellite his students are building for possible launch in 2008. The satellite will include one main experiment to measure radiation from solar flares plus several smaller experiments seeking a simple but reliable method for determining a satellite’s “attitude,” which Filmer explains is “Which end is up” in space. Filmer says all communications with the Purdue satellite will be on amateur radio frequencies and that several of his students have decided to get their ham licenses in order to be able to operate the satellite’s ground station (now under construction) after launch. Filmer has been a ham since 1976 and his call sign is W9DF. His main interests are DXing and satellites. “I always wanted to get involved in building a satellite” says Filmer, “and when the CubeSat program came along….I figured if the kids here want to do that, I’ll help direct them. It’s kind of exciting.

Michael Moses MSAAE ’95 was named in April 2005 as one of NASA’s nine new flight directors. It was the second largest such class ever selected, and brings to 30 the number of active Space Shuttle and International Space Station flight directors. Mike is one of only 40 flight directors in 40+ years of NASA human spaceflight history. Think of Gene Kranz in the Apollo 13 movie who declared, "Failure is not an option" - that’s the very job that Mike will have on the shuttle mission STS-122 which is to launch no earlier than Dec this year. Since Christopher Kraft became the first flight director more than 40 years ago, only 58 men and women have had the privilege to guide U.S. human space flights. Among space engineers, becoming a flight director is a crowning career achievement. The flight director sees the big picture during a spaceflight, leading a team of flight controllers, support personnel and engineering experts, a flight director has the overall responsibility to (Above) Gene Kranz with AAE senior Breanne Wooten manage and carry out Space Shuttle flights and ISS expeditions.

Moses began working at JSC in 1995 as a Rockwell Space Operations Co. employee, and transitioned to United Space Alliance as a flight controller in Mission Operations' Systems Division. He began working for NASA in 1998 as an ascent/entry Propulsion Officer, and was the Propulsion Systems Group lead from 2001 to 2003. Moses transferred to the Shuttle Electrical Systems Group in 2003, and served as group lead until this new assignment. Mike’s wife Beth (Stubbings) Moses is also an AAE alum and earned her bachelors’ degree in 1992, her masters’ in 1994 and she is working towards her PhD. Along with their daughter Sarah, they are both avid alums who meet with our vomit-comet student teams in Houston whenever they can.
