An ODU/NASA Reunion

Robert L. Ash, ODU eminent scholar of aerospace engineering, Charles Camarda, NASA astronaut, and ODU alumnus Allan R. Wieting ’67 (M.E. ’70, Ph.D. ’87), former assistant division chief for technology in the Aero- and Gas-Dynamics Division at NASA Langley Research Center, get together following Camarda’s talk to students on campus last fall. Wieting, who is now retired from NASA, is a former student of Ash’s and worked with Camarda when he was a research scientist at NASA Langley before qualifying as an astronaut. Camarda, who flew on the Discovery mission in July, is the father of Chelsea Camarda (right), a freshman at Old Dominion, who was also on hand for her father’s talk.
