As our country’s military reorganizes and transforms, it has located certain missions to areas where Department of Defense needs are met with highly qualified employees, the availability of a uniquely qualified imminent workforce, and a quality of life and public services in the surrounding communities that enable employees and families to flourish. This environment exists in the City of Huntsville. The City of Huntsville’s relationship with Redstone Arsenal spans over six decades. Throughout the years, the relationship has transitioned into a mutually reliant partnership to support the mission of the U.S. Army and the quality of life of the soldiers stationed here, affiliated DoD civilians, and their families. This support is evident and obvious within the community. The community holds a large defense sector, yet a diverse and broadbased market of other industrial sectors. The region also holds a valuable and unique resource: A concentration of a highly trained and educated workforce. Educational and research facilities, and governmental labs fuel innovation and creativity, as well as provide experience for the educated imminent workforce, who number over 5,100 in fields of computer science, mathematics, engineering,

  • Abstract the Transportation and Handling of Space Flight Hardware
    Abstract The transportation and handling of space flight hardware always demands the utmost care and planning. This was especially true when it came time to move the International Space Station lab module “Destiny” from its manufactiiring facility at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to the launch facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Good logistics management was the key to the coordination of the large team required to move the lab from the MSFC manufacturing facility 12 miles to the Huntsville International Airport. Overhead signs, power lines, and traffic lights had to be removed, law enforcement had to be coordinated and a major highway had to be completely shut down during the transportation phase of the move. The team responded well, and the move was accomplished on time with no major difficulties. Title International Space Station Laboratory “Destiny” Hardware Move From MSFC to KSC Introduction The transportation of large and costly space flight hard.ware presents unique challenges to a transportation team. This was particularly true during the handling and transportation of the International Space Station lab module “Destiny” from its manufacturing facility at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama to the launch facility at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Because of the relatively heavy weight of the lab module, the Super Guppy aircraft used to take the module from MSFC to KSC was unable to use the relatively short runway at Redstone Arsenal where MSFC is located. Instead, the 10,000 ft runway at Huntsville International Airport was used, mandating a trip outside of the protective bounds of Redstone.
