Mr. Brown has enjoyed a distinguished career as an Air Force fighter pilot, engineer, NASA astronaut, NASA manager, and corporate manager. His unique combination of operational and technical experience has made him an invaluable asset to the Air Force, NASA, and Computer Sciences Corporation. This was clearly demonstrated during two highly successful space shuttle missions, as a member of the Challenger Accident Investigation Team, as a member of the Solid Rocket Motor Redesign Team, as the senior astronaut on the Space Station Program, as a GRC International, Inc., Program Manager, as an AT&T District Manager, as a CSC Vice President and General Manager, and as the Chief Operating Officer for MTC.
Mr. Brown was assigned to NASA at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston by the Air Force due to his extensive experience as a fighter pilot and engineer in 1980. His responsibilities included the development of shuttle emergency procedures, training astronauts, and working in the Mission Control Center. While en route to a new military assignment overseas in 1984, Mr. Brown was called back to NASA, but this time as an astronaut.
In the years that followed, he served as a crewmember on two space shuttle flights and performed numerous additional duties. He also worked on the Space Station Program beginning in 1989 up until his retirement in the summer of 1993. His last space station position was as the Deputy Chief of the Flight Crew Operations Directorate Space Station Office. In this capacity he was responsible for representing the Astronaut Office in all phases of station design and development. This included the establishment of program requirements related to redundancy, fault tolerance, crew and vehicle risk management, and training. Mr. Brown is unique in that he has personally participated in all of the aspects of program design, development, management, and operations.
Since joining MTC in 2006 as the Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Brown has focused on MTC’s people, customers, and business to ensure a smooth transition into a large business. In February of 2007 he was also promoted to President of the company.
