In the 1960s, NASA civil servant Tom Hughes worked for Marshall Space Flight Center s Quality Control Laboratory as a systems engineer. Reporting directly to Dr. Wernher von Braun, Marshall s first director, Hughes was assigned as a NASA representative for quality control at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, to oversee the Saturn V rocket project. During this time, Hughes invented several technologies to improve the safety of the rocket, earning several commendations from von Braun. He also gained technical expertise in microwave technology, as NASA researched it to determine its relationship to radar.
