Following her flight career, Dunbar served as the president and CEO of the Museum of Flight in Seattle from 2005 to 2010. As a NASA mission specialist astronaut and veteran of five space flights, Dunbar logged over 1,208 hours (50 days) in space. For her work, she was named Rockwell Engineer of the Year. She then became a senior production operations research engineer with Rockwell International Space Division, where she helped develop equipment and processes for manufacturing the thermal protection system for the Space Shuttle. Dunbar accepted her first corporate position in 1973 as a systems analyst at the Boeing Company. Professor Dunbar, an alumna of the University of Houston and former NASA astronaut, joined the faculty of the UH Cullen College of Engineering in 2013. He has received numerous awards, including the Space Pioneer Award from Kyushu Sanyo University in Japan and the two highest honors awarded by the Federation of Astronautics and Cosmonautics of the former Soviet Union for his contributions to international space development.Ĭhair, SICSA External Advisory Committee and Adjunct Faculty Veridian was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (VNX), and was purchased by General Dynamics in 2003 for $1.5 billion. He is an Fellow Emeritus of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a Fellow of the prestigious Explorers Club.
Bell also established the world’s only master’s degree in space architecture at UH. Professor Bell co-founded Space Industries International (SII) in 1982. The company grew to employ more than 8,000 people as a result of various mergers and acquisitions and became Veridian, a diversified advanced technology company that serves aerospace, defense and automotive industries.
He took SICSA to new heights by both defining and leading the field of space architecture. Several of her designs have been built in Moscow city, Moscow and Leningrad regions.īell joined the UH faculty in 1978, founded the Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture (SICSA) at the University of Houston in 1987, and served as the director of SICSA for almost 30 years. Prior to arrival to Houston she worked as a professional architect in Moscow, Russia, on industrial, office, and healthcare projects. She is an author of books "Space Architecture Education for engineers and Architects (Springer,2016) and "Space Architecture: Human Habitats beyond Planet Earth" (DOM Publishers, 2021). in Space Architecture degrees from the University of Houston in 2001 and 2005. She recently received 2019 Outstanding Technical Contribution Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Aerospace Division. Bannova earned her PhD from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, in 2016, and Master in Architecture and M.S. Professor Bannova, an alumna of the University of Houston, conducts research and design studies that address a variety of topics, including: planning analyses for a broad range of space vehicles, habitats and systems inflatable hydroponics laboratory and logistic modules special design influences and requirements for different gravity conditions in space and habitat concepts for extreme environments on Earth. She is a corresponding member of International Academy of Astronautics, IAC Space and Society Symposiums coordinator, senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a Chair of the AIAA Space Architecture Technical Committee, and an elected member of the ASCE’s Executive Committee on Space Engineering and Construction.
