Aerodyne Industries is proud to announce the induction of three teammates into the National Space Club-Florida Committee’s Space Worker Hall of Fame Class of 2024 at the Celebrate Space Awards Banquet held at the Radisson Resort in Cape Canaveral on Oct. 25, 2024.
David Floyd, Marianne Rigolini and Jim Stephenson support NASA’s Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering & Test (or COMET) contract at the Kennedy Space Center.
David’s illustrious 37-year career at KSC began while he was attending the University of Central Florida and was selected to work on a McDonnell Douglas-sponsored senior programming project involving defect analysis. The project was a success, led to a job offer in the Engineering Development Lab, and the rest, as they say, is history. In addition to McDonnel Douglas, his resume includes stints with Boeing, I-Net, Dynacs Engineering, ASRC, SGT, and ERC, where he supported the Test and Operations Support Contract as an Associate Chief Engineer (ACE) – Electrical. David continued in that role when he transitioned to Aerodyne Industries in 2023 on COMET.
Marianne’s storied KSC career began in 1989 when she joined Rockell International supporting the Space Shuttle Program as a member of the Information Technology (IT) team automating the Thermal Protection System Facility.
For 35 years, her leadership, intelligence and engaging personality have made her an instrumental contributor to NASA’s Human Spaceflight Programs.
In her current role as Manager of the Management Information Systems/IT for Aerodyne Industries, Rigolini is responsible for some of the most critical IT aspects.
For more than 35 years, Jim has provided critical Logistics support for NASA’s Human Spaceflight Programs.
With dogged determination, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a Lead of Transportation, Packing and Crating, where he was responsible for handling, storing, transportation, and shipping NASA hardware domestically and internationally. Jim later transitioned to a Customer Support Representative, where he ensured the planning and execution of arriving hardware, payloads, and critical ground support equipment for domestic and international partners and its delivery to the next launch provider. He eventually advanced to his current position as a Flow Manager for Vehicle Hardware Processing and Commercial Host Role Support.
