All,
For those long-term CRaTER team members, please see the news regarding a newly-named crater in honor of Craig Tooley, LRO’s original mission Project Manager. He was absolutely terrific and such a great friend. I have many fond memories of his life lived so well (some involving pirates) though a life that ended far too early.
Best wishes,
- Harlan

>>> Joined NASA Goddard July 5, 1983 after earning his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Evansville, 1983. While at Goddard he earned his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, 1990
>>>
>>> Started his career at NASA in the Goddard Special Payloads Division (SPD) as a mechanical engineer working in structures, thermal engineering, and attitude control and stabilization engineering in SPD’s skunk-works type environment
>>>
>>> He served as the mission manager and mechanical lead for five successful Spartan 201 heliophysics missions deployed during space shuttle missions flown on STS-56, STS-64, STS-69, STS-87, and STS-95
>>>
>>> While in SPD, he also held the position of associate branch head of the Carrier Systems Branch
>>>
>>> He joined the Flight Projects Directorate in~1996
>>>
>>> Served as the Deputy Project Manager for the Triana, which would later become today’s DSCOVR mission
>>>
>>> Served as head of the Hubble Space Telescope Instrument Development Office where he oversaw the development of instruments that were to be installed on Hubble during the fifth and final servicing mission. He worked as part of the spacewalk servicing team, which developed procedures and trained astronauts for the successful Hubble Servicing Mission 3B in 2002.
>>>
>>> Served as the Project Manager for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, which was successfully launched in July 2009. LRO initially collected data that was essential for understanding the lunar surface, and it continues to enable numerous groundbreaking discoveries, creating a new picture of the moon as a dynamic and complex body.
>>>
>>> Served as the Project Manager for the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, which was successfully launched in March 2015 to study the Earth's magnetosphere and the little-understood phenomenon called magnetic reconnection.
>>>
>>> In October 2015, Craig joined the Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate as Deputy Director, responsible for oversight of our programmatic instrument and mission deliverables.
>>>
>>> During his tenure with AETD, Craig was a champion for development of new technologies such as a significantly smaller electronics system known as MUSTANG, which is short for Modular Unified Space Technology Avionics for Next Generation missions. Leveraging knowledge gained during the development of MMS, Craig spearheaded this effort. The key to MUSTANG's success has been the integration of hardware and software design from day one to provide maximum processing performance and flexibility.
>>>
>>> Craig was also AETD’s champion for CubeSats and low-cost SmallSats as an emerging capability offering NASA agile low cost options for enabling scientific discovery, technology, training, and education.
>>>
>>> He was the recipient of numerous awards, most notably Craig was a recipient of 2 NASA Outstanding Leadership Medals for both his work on the LRO and MMS missions.
