Houston Green, Space Exploration Engineer, The Aerospace Corporation, NASA Johnson Space CenterCarolina Ballroom | Francis Marion Hotel
NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, is a hub of human spaceflight activity and plays a pivotal role in many of NASA’s key programs. This presentation will delve into the critical role that digital transformation is playing within challenges and solutions of advanced lunar surface initiatives and astronaut training at JSC, all central to NASA's vision for the future of space exploration and human presence beyond Earth.
Houston Green is the Human Surface Mobility and Extravehicular Activity Program Technical Leader for reduced gravity environments at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC). He manages cost, schedule, and upgrades for the Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) Project used in testing of the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) and space suits associated with the xEVAS contract and is currently writing system requirements for a host of new and innovative gravity offload capabilities to be used for testing and training of Astronauts within upcoming Artemis missions. Houston was previously a Designer and Operator on the ARGOS Project, where his team designed and are currently assembling the Next Generation ARGOS (AX3S) in the Building 9 Highbay at JSC.
