Dear members of the AIAA Southwest Texas section,
The San Antonio Section of ASME will be hosting a presentation of the Space Shuttle Orbital
Maneuvering System (OMS) on February 4th at 6:30 PM. We are all invited to attend.
Space Shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS)
John Hooper was employed by NASA's Johnson Space Center beginning in 1963, through 1999.
In the course of his 37‐year tenure at NASA John worked on the Apollo Project, the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and the Crew Return Vehicle (X38). The majority of
that time, he was associated with the spacecraft propulsion systems used in the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs.
John served as the Subsystem Manager of the Space Shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS). He will provide an overview of the Space Shuttle and the OMS, and discuss some of the technological challenges related to a reusable, storable propellant rocket propulsion system such as the OMS.
John was awarded his BSME degree from the University of Houston.
