	Marshall Space Flight Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is a lead NASA center for propulsion, Space Shuttle propulsion, external fuel tank, crew training and payloads, International Space Station (ISS) design and construction, for computers, networks, and information management.
		MSFC arose from the U.S. Army's Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA, later the AOMC) centered at Redstone Arsenal.
		The center became the civilian base for Dr. Wernher von Braun, his team of German rocket scientists and a large host of military and civilian contractors.

	Marshall Space Flight Center
		Space propulsion is the designated Center of Excellence area for Marshall, dedicated to supporting transportation systems development and microgravity research as mission areas.
		The center's first director was Wernher von Braun, the renowned German rocket scientist who spearheaded the development of the boosters that kept the United States a competitor in the often-called "Space Race" with the former Soviet Union.
		The Center was responsible for design and development of three major elements of the Shuttle system--the three main engines that power the orbiter, the external tank that holds the propellants for the engines during launch and ascent to orbit, and the solid rocket propellant strap-on boosters.

		Since Rodriguez began his NASA career at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., 25 years ago, he’s worked alongside Dr. Wernher von Braun’s original rocket team, and has been part of the teams building the Space Shuttle, Hubble Space Telescope, and X-34 technology demonstrator.
		Rodriguez joined the Marshall Center in 1976, working under German rocket scientists Erich Engler and Gus Kroll, building test equipment for what would become the struts used to separate the external tank and solid rocket boosters from the Space Shuttle.
		Then it was on to developing structural concepts for the Space Station assembly, and flight support equipment that’s still used today to carry science instruments to the Hubble Space Telescope.

	SPACE.com -- NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Tests Mirror James Webb Space Telescope
		The Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) will look back to an extremely important period in the early history of the universe -- a time when the first stars and galaxies began to form -- and a point in cosmological history that could be called the Dark Age.
		In a tucked-away workspace at Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA technicians are testing two prototypes for a mirror designed to do just that.
		The Marshall center was chosen to test the mirrors because it has a test chamber big enough to hold the mirrors, which are about as tall as a two-story house, and capable of reaching the super-cold temperatures they would face in outer space -- about minus 370 degrees.
