Apollo Alumni James Kelly NASA CAREER (1996- Present) APOLLO EXCERPTS: Mission Control Position: Electrical Power Systems SSR Jim Kelly was going to night school and needed a job, and when he was offered a position as a security guard by NASA, he jumped at the opportunity. He did well, and was promoted to shift supervisor. It was at that point, however, when someone figured out that he was too young to carry a gun. He moved to the badging station, where he met the people who would soon help him move into the Vehicle Systems Staff Support Room (SSR) next door to Mission Control. Kelly served as an electrical power systems specialist, and became the best of friends with EECOM John Aaron. Less than two weeks before the launch of Apollo 12, Aaron served as the best man at Kelly’s wedding to wife Brenda. Together, Kelly and Aaron pieced together the all-important power-up checklist during the Apollo 13 crisis in April 1970. Kelly was also an important player when a problem with the Command Module Kitty Hawk’s docking mechanism threatened the Apollo 14 lunar landing. Kelly retired from NASA in 1974, and worked in management for Southwestern Bell Telephone.
