NASA Glenn Director Donald J. Campbell said he expects employment at Glenn to rise as a result of the additional funding, but the number of hires will depend on how much budget money the space agency and its centers receive apart from the $250 million.
The topping-off of NASA Glenn’s budget is partly a result of Congress’ increased willingness to fund the space agency, Venneri said, but is primarily because NASA is rededicating itself to doing the kind of basic research and development that made America the world’s aviation leader and helped the country blaze a trail into space.
The 59-year-old Glenn Center, which is older than NASA itself, was founded as a government aircraft engine research lab and did early rocket engine and fuels studies.

 USATODAY.com - NASA Glenn taking lead role in project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
CLEVELAND — After years of job losses, budget cuts and uncertainty, NASA Glenn Research Center is taking a leading role in developing the new space vehicle officials hope will carry people back to the moon and lead the way to Mars.
The workload, announced Monday by NASA, means the center now faces the challenge of transforming its focus from aeronautics research to replacing the 25-year-old space shuttle.
The project is an economic boost for NASA Glenn, which was struggling to remain viable as the space agency cut its aeronautics research — the center's lifeblood — to pursue President Bush's vision of returning to the moon and sending people to Mars.
