1/25/93: VINCENT NAMED ACTING PUBLIC AFFAIRS HEAD
David W. Garrett
Headquarters, Washington, D.C. January 25, 1993
RELEASE: 93-15
NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced the appointment,
effective immediately, of Geoffrey H. Vincent as Acting Associate Administrator
for Public Affairs.
On Jan. 21, the White House accepted the resignations of William A.
Livingstone and Sue Mathis Richard, the Associate Administrator and Deputy
Associate Administrator for Public Affairs, respectively. Both were non-
career executives who served at the pleasure of the President. Their last day
at NASA was Jan. 22.
"Bill and Sue have provided outstanding service to NASA and to me
personally," Goldin told a meeting of the Headquarters Public Affairs staff on
Jan. 22. "I extend to them my sincerest gratitude for their dedication and
enthusiasm." Livingstone came to NASA in May 1992; Richard in April 1990.
Vincent currently is Director of the Program Management Division in the
Office of Public Affairs, where he oversees resources, administrative services,
Freedom of Information requests and coordinates issues among various parts of
the Public Affairs organization. He joined NASA in December 1987 and served as
a Public Affairs Officer and Special Assistant to the Associate Administrator
for Public Affairs before assuming his current position.
Prior to coming to NASA, Vincent served for 4 years as a public affairs
officer for the Department of the Navy. He also spent 5 years reporting on
legislative, regulatory and political issues for various Washington-based
newsletters. He received a B.A. degree from George Washington University and a
M.A. degree in journalism from the University of Missouri.

% Kennedy staff continues preparation work on Columbia for STS-55.

KSC technicians continue their processing activities on Columbia, presently
still in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2 where it is being outfitted with the
Spacelab module and tunnel for its dedicated German science flightPD2 on the
STS-55 mission. The KSC team was expecting to have completed the aft
compartment closeouts by this morning. The astronaut crew equipment interface
test occurred this past weekend; the Spacelab interface verification test
previously had been successfully completed.
The STS-55 mission is a dedicated German research flight, as was the D-1
mission which flew on STS-61A in November 1985. The flight is scheduled as an
8-day and 22-hour, seven-crewmember mission with the Spacelab long module and a
variety of scientific discipline investigations. This mission's major Spacelab
facilities will continue the exploration of fluid physics and human
physiological changes in microgravity. Additional experiments will continue
the investigations of the Earth's atmosphere, the surface topography of the
planet, and additional investigations in galactic astronomy and technology
development.
The mission will also feature the flight of two German payload specialists and
will provide both the U.S. and German crewmembers with daily opportunities to
communicate with Earth-bound citizens in both countries through the Shuttle
Amateur Radio Experiment gear, which is flying again on this mission.
Meanwhile, in OPF bay 3, technicians are continuing their turn around
processing on Discovery for its upcoming STS-56 mission to fly ATLAS payload
experiments again. The STS-56 mission is presently targeted for a late March
launch.
Workers at KSC also are preparing to remove the Diffuse X-ray Spectrometer from
Endeavour as part of post-mission operations on that orbiter.
