Mr Roland Verreet will hold a one day seminar on the subject of "Ropes and Reeving Systems" at the NASA Kennedy Space Center.
Kennedy Space Center, Florida
On Friday, 6 January 2012, Mr. Roland Verreet was presented with a token of appreciation from NASA Kennedy Space Center. The presentation was made by Mr. Robert D. Cabana, the Director of the Kennedy Space Center.
The plaque was custom- made for Roland and reads:
Presented to Roland Verreet with Grateful Thanks from Your Friends at NASA Kennedy Space Center, Florida†“This 5/8†stainless steel wire rope from the West 30-Ton Bridge Crane in the Space Station Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center lifted major components of the International Space Station from 1995 through 2009.
A stainless steel rope of the Space Station Assembly crane is attached to the plaque.
Special significance of the various photos and presentation by Mr. Cabana:
- The lower right photo is the European Space Agency's research laboratory, Columbus Module, being processed while on the hook of the 30-ton bridge crane in the Space Station Processing Facility.
- The large photo of the Space Shuttle launch is of STS-122 carrying the Columbus Module in its payload bay.
- The composite photo of the International Space Station superimposed over the Florida peninsula shows Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, under the center of the station.
Mr. Cabana flew a Space Shuttle 4 times (STS-41 Discovery, STS-53 Discovery, STS-65 Columbia and STS-88). He was the Mission Commander of STS-88, the first International Space Station assembly mission.
Roland considers this a great distinction. He loves to work with the NASA engineers who are a bit smarter than the rest of us.
