CABANA Robert
Kennedy Space Center Director
NASA
NASA announced Tuesday that William Parsons, director of the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is leaving the agency in mid-October to pursue opportunities in the private sector. Parsons will be succeeded by former astronaut Robert Cabana, currently director of NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.


His successor, Cabana, is a native of Minnesota. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1971 with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. Cabana is a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School and has logged over 7,000 hours in 36 different aircraft.

After his selection as an astronaut candidate in June of 1985, Cabana completed his training in 1986. He has flown four space shuttle missions, serving as the pilot of Discovery missions STS-41 in October 1990 and STS-53 in December 1992, commander of Columbia on STS-65 in July 1994, and commander of Endeavour on STS-88 - the first International Space Station assembly mission - in December 1998.

Before being named the director at Stennis in October 2007, Cabana served as deputy director of Johnson. In addition, Cabana has worked as chief of NASA's Astronaut Office; manager of international operations of the International Space Station Program; director of NASA's Human Space Flight Program in Russia; deputy director of the International Space Station Program; and director of Flight Crew Operations.

"Bob Cabana is long-time colleague, and another whose marine training has redounded to NASA's benefit," Griffin said. "Bob has seen it all and done it all in human spaceflight, and done it with an open, collaborative style. There is just no better teammate. He will be a terrific successor to Bill Parsons as Director of KSC."

Ce prix soutient une personne ou une entité qui contribue à susciter des vocations de femmes dans les sciences.

Chaque lauréat a reçu une dotation de 10 000 euros.

A l’occasion de cette cérémonie, François Goulard a déclaré : « Le pacte pour la recherche a été complété par tout un volet d’actions en faveur de l’égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et les hommes». Il a par ailleurs précisé : « Il sera mis fin à l’exception au décret d’application de la Loi sur l’égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et les hommes pour le secteur de la recherche ». Le Ministre a ajouté : « Une représentation équitable des sexes sera ainsi respectée dans les instances nouvellement créées par la loi de programme pour la recherche, telles que le Haut Conseil de la Science et l’Agence Nationale de l’Evaluation ». Cette représentation équitable sera également mise en œuvre dans les établissements, organismes et directions du Ministère.

François Goulard a annoncé, enfin, la création d’un Comité pour l’égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et les hommes. Nommé pour 3 ans, il sera composé d’une dizaine de personnalités, notamment des scientifiques de haut niveau. Ce comité aura pour mission de dresser un état des lieux et de proposer au Ministre des recommandations en matière d’égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et les hommes dans la recherche et l’enseignement supérieur. Il remettra un rapport dans six mois sur ce point, et un premier rapport d’étape le 8 mars, pour la Journée de la Femme. Le Comité sera l’instance consultative réservée du Ministre, qui pourra le saisir en tant que de besoin.
.
Noël Forgeard de son côté s’est exprimé en ces termes :

« Cette initiative, dont nous avons souhaité être partenaire pour la deuxième année consécutive, conforte ma certitude : une meilleure synergie privée et publique dans la recherche est essentielle pour que la France et l’Europe restent au premier plan mondial. Les grands succès actuels d’EADS (Airbus, Eurocopter, Ariane) sont le fruit d’innovations qui n’auraient pu voir le jour sans une excellence de la recherche française, publique et privée. »

Il a précisé : « Les pôles de compétitivité, auxquels Airbus, Astrium, EADS participent, sont des modèles de rapprochement. Nous renforçons notre coopération avec les centres de recherche européens comme l’ONERA et le DLR en Allemagne. En France, à travers la Fondation d'entreprise EADS, nous soutenons différentes initiatives : bourses de recherche, prix pour des chercheurs, financement de chaires d'enseignement et de recherche. Cela représente un effort de plus de 24 millions d'euros sur 5 ans.»

Et ajouté «Les femmes ne représentent que 31 % des chercheurs de la recherche académique et 21 % des effectifs de la recherche privée. Nous devons permettre aux femmes de valoriser leur potentiel dans le respect d’un équilibre avec la vie personnelle. C’est la démarche que nous avons choisi d’engager dans notre entreprise en développant une politique active de parité incluant la participation à des initiatives comme « Women Initiative in sciences and Technology », « Women’s forum for the economy and society » ou « le prix Irène Joliot-Curie ».

CHêNEVERT Louis 48 ans

UTC
Chênevert elected UTC President, Chief Operating Officer and Director; Finger named President, Pratt & Whitney; Pino named President, Sikorsky

HARTFORD, Conn., March 8, 2006 -- Louis Chênevert, 48, has been elected President and Chief Operating Officer and a Director of United Technologies Corp., (NYSE: UTX), effective immediately, the company announced today.

UTC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George David, 63, said Chênevert will join him in the newly formed Office of the Chief Executive. Executives currently reporting to David will now report to the new office.

In making the announcement, David said, "Louis has proven his abilities and delivered on his commitments as an exceptional operating executive at Pratt & Whitney during his 13 years with UTC, including seven years as Pratt & Whitney's President. Additionally, he has demonstrated strong skills at building and developing cohesive management teams and at learning and taking on new challenges. I am confident he will be a strong UTC President."

"UTC is a large and complex organization and we anticipate some time will be necessary to develop all the skills and relationships required by a successor CEO. I expect to remain UTC's CEO for approximately two years, enabling Louis to broaden his corporate experience during that time," David added.

"I'm really proud of this recognition and look forward to the opportunities ahead," Chênevert said. "I have come to know UTC well through Pratt & Whitney and by working with the other UTC presidents through the Presidents Council and with other important constituencies like investors, the Board of Directors, and UTC's corporate staff. UTC is a great company and I couldn't be happier than to take on the challenges ahead," he added.

Chênevert joined UTC's Pratt & Whitney Canada unit in 1993 as its Vice President, Operations. He moved to Pratt & Whitney's headquarters in East Hartford, Conn., in 1996 as Executive Vice President, Operations. He was named Pratt's President in 1999.

CHÊNEVERT Louis

George David to retire as UTC Board Chairman at the end of the year;President and CEO Louis Chênevert elected successor Chairman.

United Technologies Corp. announced George David, 67, will retire as Chairman of the Board of Directors at the end of the year, concluding 34 years of service with UTC, including 14 years as Chief Executive Officer.
Louis Chênevert, 52, President and Chief Executive Officer, will succeed David as Chairman, effective January 1, 2010, following his election today by the UTC board. “George has had a remarkable career,” Chênevert said. “UTC revenues have nearly tripled during his tenure as President and CEO, and total shareholder return has greatly outpaced peers and market indices. The corporation today is dramatically different than the one he joined in 1975,” Chênevert added. “The most notable changes are UTC’s global expansion, with international revenues growing from 25 percent to more than 60 percent today, and its focus on process and research disciplines. UTC is a high performance organization, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead it into the future.”Richard McCormick, UTC’s Lead Director, said: “Beyond George’s leadership during his own tenure, he has presided over an outstanding succession over a four year period to Louis as UTC’s CEO and now Chairman-elect. This began with Louis’ election as President and a board member in 2006, continued with his election as CEO in 2008, and now concludes with this final transition. The board is delighted with Louis’ growth into these most senior responsibilities and looks forward to years of his continued and exceptional leadership.” “It has been my privilege to lead this great corporation. UTC truly reflects the forces that make and shape our world, from deep and sophisticated technologies to its remarkable international presence to its process and productivity disciplines,” David said. “I have great confidence in Louis and the management team and know the future is bright for UTC and them.”David will remain a consultant and adviser to the Corporation for 2010.

NASA Names Former Astronaut New Johnson Center Director

November 7, 2005:

Michael L. Coats has been named director of NASA's Johnson Space Center. Coats is a former astronaut, and he currently is vice president of Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver. He will become the ninth person to serve as director in the center's 44-year history.

"Mike Coats brings a perfect blend of experience to his new role as the head of the nation's primary center for human spaceflight development and operations," said NASA Administrator Michael Griffin. "As a former pilot and astronaut, and a long-time aerospace industry executive, he knows what our next generation of manned spacecraft must be able to do, and he knows what it takes to produce them. I'm delighted to welcome Mike back home to NASA."

Coats joined NASA in 1978 as a member of the first astronaut class specifically selected to fly the space shuttle. He flew three shuttle missions, the first as pilot for the maiden flight of Discovery in 1984. He commanded two subsequent shuttle missions, logging a total of more than 463 hours in space. Before joining NASA he was a distinguished U.S. Navy aviator. He logged more than 5,000 hours of flight time in 28 different types of aircraft. He retired from NASA and the Navy in August 1991.

"I look forward to returning to the Johnson Space Center, and I am honored by the trust Mike Griffin has shown in me," Coats said. "We will embrace the challenge of the new Constellation program that will take us first to the moon, and then on to Mars. At the same time, the contributions of the space shuttle and international space station will be critical steps in that journey and we remain committed to their success."

Coats replaces Jefferson D. Howell, Jr., who is on assignment as a visiting professor to the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
