APPENDIX 388 Courtenay R. McMillan, “Tranquility Flight,” has worked on the ISS Program since 1996, initially as a flight controller in the Motion Control Systems group. After a stint with the ISS Program’s Moscow Technical Liaison Office, she returned to the operations world to serve as lead for the Avionics Systems Integration group and technical assistant for the robotics and extravehicular activity division before being selected as a flight director in 2007. Ms. McMillan holds a BS in aerospace engineering from Pennsylvania State University (1992). Emily Nelson, “Peridot Flight,” has worked on the ISS Program since 1998, serving as a flight controller (Thermal Control Systems) and as station duty officer before being selected as a flight director in 2007. Ms. Nelson holds a BS in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas (1998). Royce J. Renfrew, “Tungsten Flight,” has worked in the ISS Program since 1997, originally as a robotics instructor in the Mechanical and Robotics Systems group, then in the Robotics Operations group in 2001. After serving as the Onboard Data Interfaces and Network (ODIN) group lead, he was selected to the flight director class of 2008. Mr. Renfrew holds a BS in computer science from Trinity University (1995). He also earned a BA in history, as well as secondary teaching certificates from Trinity University (1987). Brian T. Smith, “Liberty Flight,” began working in flight control in 1998 on the Interim Control Module (which never flew) before becoming a flight controller in the Communications and Tracking group. He was selected as a flight director in 2005. Mr. Smith holds a BS in electrical engineering from Villanova University (1993), an MS in electrical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (1996), and an MS in aerospace engineering from the University of Houston (2004).
