In the latter sector, he worked with various ventures in these various industries. Between 1977 and 1980, he was General Manager of the National Space Institute (renamed National Space Society), co-founded by Wernher von Braun, and focused on educating the American public on space exploration. 〔(See articles describing the early establishment of the NSI, including Mr. Stadd’s role at the following link: http://www.nss.org/adastra/nsi.html.)〕 In 1979, he was managing editor, ''Space Humanization Review'', a scholarly journal devoted to the interdisciplinary study of human settlements of outer space.〔Copies available at http://www.amazon.com/Humanization-Series-Institute-Social-Science/dp/093414401X〕 During the early 1980s, he worked with several nascent commercial space ventures, including StarStruck, Inc. (renamed American Rocket Company). He obtained one of the first federal government approvals for a commercial rocket. Stadd also helped organize a coalition to support the 1984 Commercial Space Launch Act that established the U.S. Department of Transportation as the lead licensing agency for the commercial launch industry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reaching for the High Frontier: Chapter 12 )〕 In the mid-1980s, he was appointed as Special Assistant for Space Commercialization, within the Office of the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Stadd was helped promote the emergence of a U.S. commercial rocket industry. This culminated in the 1986 Presidential Space Policy Directive that directed that NASA’s Space Shuttle no longer launch satellite missions that do not require human intervention.〔http://marshall.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/NSDD-254-U.S.-Space-Launch-Strategy-27-Dec-1986.pdf〕 Stadd was then appointed as Director of the Office of Commercial Space Transportation within the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT). In that capacity, he issued the first set of regulations implementing the 1984 Commercial Space Launch Act, as well as issuing the first license for an American commercial rocket.〔(See data at http://www.faa.gov/data_research/commercial_space_data/launches/?type=license )〕 From 1989-1992, he was Senior Director, White House National Space Council, where he led interagency teams focused on drafting Presidential directives aimed at promoting space commercialization.〔(See Oral History document at http://nasasearch.nasa.gov/search?utf8=1&sc=0&query=courtney%20stadd%20site:jsc.nasa.gov/history/&affiliate=jschistoryportal)〕 After his stint at DoT, he formed a management consulting firm, Maryland-based Capitol Solutions, where he worked with a diverse array of small and large aerospace-related organizations. He went on to head the first term NASA transition team for George W. Bush. He was then named Chief of Staff and White House liaison and remained in that capacity through the Columbia accident (February 2003) and was involved in establishing a fund to support survivors of NASA officials who are killed in the line of duty. At the invitation of Administrator Michael D. Griffin, he went back to NASA HQ in a temporary advisory capacity (April–June 2005) where he helped to design a new career technical position, Associate Administrator, a new senior level position in the Office of the Administrator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NASA Strategic Management Handbook )〕 After leaving his advisory role, Stadd went on to become assistant executive producer for the PBS Television program, Space Shuttle Columbia: Mission of Hope, which was produced under the auspices of Tom Hanks’ Playtone and Herzog Productions.〔(See data at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4924859/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1)〕 It was shown on PBS in February 2013.〔See http://www.pbs.org/program/space-shuttle-columbia/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Courtney Stadd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
