The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) yesterday announced the Opening General Session speaker for AIHce 2011: NASA Flight Control Director and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Gene Kranz.
Kranz, an aeronautical engineer whose NASA responsibilities included mission design, testing, training, and spaceflight operations, will open a conference whose theme is “Innovate. Integrate. Inspire.” Kraz will sign copies of his book, “Failure is not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond,” following his speech.
