"The value of this course is hard to overestimate... particularly at this time when we're looking at new vehicles."

Hank Rotter Promo

Principal Engineer Clint Cragg introduces the NESC Academy and its first offering, Active Thermal Control and Life Support Systems with Hank Rotter, originally presented in Texas in September 2005. A NASA engineer since 1963, Rotter talks about how viewing the International Space Station (ISS) as an integrated system will help NASA design new spacecraft. He emphasizes how much NASA has learned about living in space and how much is still left to learn.
