    Hello Fellow GHS and Region II AIAA Members,

    Today we had a very informative lunch time Zoom Meeting with Ray Gomez of NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center.  He covered the real world problems encounter when developing Space Launch System.  He gave the history of balancing CFD, wind tunnel testing and flight test data.  

    I would highly recommend this hour long lecture (start at 7 minutes) as a Student Chapter Meeting Topic or a University class lecture.  

    I have posted this lecture in the library section of Greater Huntsville Section Library and in the Region II Library.  

    Sincerely
