Team Leader For All Activities At The Cape Canaveral Launch
Site
A program manager at Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station has been named a co-winner of the national-level
Women in Aerospace Achievement Award.
Capt. Amanda Zuber (pictured), a Space-Based Infrared System field
program manager assigned to the 45th Launch Support Squadron, will
receive her award in November 1 in Washington D.C. "This is a big
award and tremendous honor," said Col. Matthew Skeen, the 45th
Launch Group commander. "It highlights Captain Zuber's outstanding
contributions to aerospace and the importance of the 45th Space
Wing mission to the nation."
Zuber's main responsibilities as an FPM included leading all the
activities at the Cape Canaveral launch site over a grueling
one-year process, officials said. These activities included
technical operations from unloading the satellite from its shipping
container to final assembly of the satellite and placing it atop a
200-foot tall rocket. She also simultaneously performed managerial
tasks such as coordinating the schedules of multiple offices on
both the Florida coast, California coast and in Washington
D.C.
According to her nomination packet, Captain Zuber showed an "innate
ability to logically work through problems while seeking out the
win-win outcome to situations made her the perfect selection as the
FPM for SBIRS, resulting in the launch of a revolutionary new
ballistic missile defense capability for the United States."
The SBIRS satellite group, one of the nation's highest-priority
space programs, delivers timely, reliable and accurate missile
warning information to the President of the United States, the
Secretary of Defense, military commanders, multiple intelligence
agencies and other key decision makers in the upper echelon of the
United States government, officials said.
