Dr. Norman Thagard, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of College Relations, has been elected to a three-year term on the Board of the Astronauts Memorial Foundation. In the wake of the Challenger accident in 1986, The Astronauts Memorial Foundation was born. As a living memorial to the astronauts it honors, The Astronauts Memorial Foundation will become a major influence on the future of education through the excitement of technology and space to ensure that future generations are prepared to face the challenges, both on and off our celestial home... Spaceship Earth. AMF honors all U.S. astronauts who have lost their lives while on missions or in training. Seventeen astronauts are now honored by AMF.
