NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA Goddard Remembers Project Manager Craig R. Tooley
On Nov. 16-17, 2017, management and employees at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland to remember their friend and colleague Craig Tooley, who died in September after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Tooley family members and close friends came to Goddard to see some of the facilities where Tooley had worked during his career and see the mission control rooms that are now managing the operation of his spacecraft on a daily basis. In addition to seeing Goddard facilities, Tooley family and friends went to the control room that manages the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and witnessed that control room being named after Craig Tooley. Family and friends then went to the Goddard recreation center for lunch and a celebration of life event. Finally, given all of NASA Goddard’s Earth science research and science efforts, it was only fitting that the last remembrance activity was a tree planting and placement of a plaque between buildings 5 and 7 on the Greenbelt campus.
