Received "Silver Snoopy" In 1999 For Contributions To Safe
Manned Spaceflight
NASA announced Monday that Edwin H. "Hank" Miller has been named
booster deputy project manager in the Reusable Solid Rocket Booster
Project Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, AL.
Miller manages the technical, cost and schedule aspects for
space shuttle reusable solid rocket boosters. His responsibilities
include planning, budgeting, scheduling, engineering design and
development, integration, test, evaluation, and launch operations.
During a space shuttle launch, the two solid rocket boosters
generate 85 percent of the necessary thrust during the first two
minutes of flight.
Miller joined NASA in 1988 as a subsystem manager in the Solid
Rocket Booster Project Office and managed the project's Service
Life Extension Program, or SLEP, beginning in 2001. SLEP was part
of a NASA study that evaluated space shuttle hardware and
facilities for possible safety and performance improvements that
had the potential to extend the shuttle's use. He was appointed
business manager of the project office in 2003, and served until
appointed to his current position.
Miller earned a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering in
1985 from Auburn University in Auburn, AL and a master's of science
in engineering in 2000 from the University of Alabama in
Huntsville.
He was presented NASA's Silver Snoopy award by the Astronaut
Corp in 1999 for his contributions to the success of human
spaceflight missions. He received the NASA Exceptional Achievement
Medal, which recognizes significant, specific contributions to
NASA's mission, in 2006.
