Hello!  My name is Rob Morehead, and I work for the United Space Alliance at JSC. I am a Space Shuttle flight controller, and I work in the Booster Group. Basically, we are in charge of making sure that the Space Shuttle engines operate correctly, and the fire you see coming out of the Space Shuttle during take-off is going in the right direction. I earned a B.S in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Kansas in May, 2000 and really enjoy the mechanics of airplanes, rockets, and space flight.

I became an Aerospace Engineer because I like things that fly and I always find myself asking "why does this work, and why was it designed this way?". I really enjoy working at Johnson Space Center because space travel is very exciting, and this is the best place to be if you want to play a part in manned space exploration.

Personally, I am originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma and am a St Louis Cardinals fan. I volunteer at the NOAA Sea Turtle Facility on Galveston Island; enjoy basketball, volleyball, and building big rockets. I also have a private pilots license.

I look forward to working with you and sharing ideas!
