Then came the deafening sound waves that vibrated his body. This was the moment he\u2019d dreamed about since childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was Nov. 16, 2009, at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and Kenny and his wife were watching space shuttle Atlantis embark on a mission to the International Space Station. Kenny, who was less than two years into his NASA career, had the opportunity to see the liftoff from Launch Pad 39A as part of receiving the Space Flight Awareness Award for supporting the Space Shuttle Program\u2019s solid rocket booster flight program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat was the first launch I ever witnessed in person,\u201d said Kenny, whose inspiration for working at NASA came from watching televised shuttle launches as a youth. \u201cIt was amazing and made me appreciate how such a powerful system could be designed and flown so successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"A man stands in in the middle of two poster boards on stands\" style=\"transform: scale(1.1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg 3726w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=300,193 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=768,495 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=1024,660 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=1536,989 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=2048,1319 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=400,258 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=600,386 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=900,580 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=1200,773 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jeremykennydnb-9081.jpg?resize=2000,1288 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Jeremy Kenny, manager of NASA\u2019s Cryogenic Fluid Management Portfolio Project, holds a model spacecraft for the proposed large cryogenic demonstration mission. The mission aims to demonstrate liquid hydrogen management, including near-zero propellant boil off and highly efficient propellant transfer, needed to achieve long-duration transit to\/from Mars and spacecraft loitering during on-surface campaigns.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">Credit: NASA\/Danielle Burleson<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With the final shuttle mission two years later, NASA set its sights on designing and building its future Artemis rocket: SLS (Space Launch System). Kenny was selected to lead the <a>SLS <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SY_P1203OM4\" rel=\"noopener\">Modal Acoustic Test program<\/a>, which helped engineers understand how loud the rocket would be during liftoff. He later joined another key Artemis effort, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/human-landing-system\/\">Human Landing System program<\/a>, as a technical manager, overseeing the development of lander systems that will transport astronauts to the Moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArtemis is an inspiring campaign for future human spaceflight exploration,\u201d Kenny said. \u201cI worked with SLS, Orion, and Exploration Ground Systems, and it was very fulfilling to see all the pieces come together for the successful Artemis I launch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January, Kenny was named manager of NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/tdm\/cryogenic-fluid-management-cfm\/\">Cryogenic Fluid Management<\/a> (CFM) Portfolio project, where he oversees a cross-agency team based at NASA\u2019s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. The CFM portfolio includes innovative technologies to store, transfer, and measure ultra-cold fluids \u2013 such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and liquid methane. These cryogens are the most common propellants in space exploration, making CFM integral to NASA\u2019s future exploration and science efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“We must mature CFM technologies to support future flight mission architectures,\u201d said Kenny. \u201cThe strong partnership between Marshall and Glenn in CFM maturation continues to produce excellent results, enabling in-space cryogenic systems vital to NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars vision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenny\u2019s choice of profession comes as little surprise, given his family background. He had a grandfather and an uncle who worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the family\u2019s hometown of Vicksburg, Mississippi. From them, Kenny learned how math and physics could be implemented in real-world applications. He earned three degrees in mechanical engineering: a bachelor\u2019s from Mississippi State University in Starkville, a master\u2019s from Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and a doctorate from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy grandfather showed me various engineering software programs he worked on to simulate ground terrains for military transportation systems,\u201d Kenny said. \u201cMy uncle worked on engineering developments for various military systems; he was a key influence for me to pursue graduate degrees in mechanical engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Kenny\u2019s not working to evolve technology for NASA\u2019s future deep space exploration missions, he\u2019s spending time with his wife and their two daughters, who are involved in choir and dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWatching them practice and perform inspires me,\u201d Kenny said with a smile. \u201cMy biggest challenge is balancing my professional work, which I love, and spending time with my family, who I love. With work comes many exciting opportunities, and solving hard problems is fun. But that excitement should not detract from keeping your personal relationships healthy. One day, I\u2019ll retire and spend all my free time with family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CFM Portfolio Project\u2019s work is under NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/tdm\/space-nuclear-propulsion\/\">Technology Demonstration Missions<\/a> Program, part of NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/space-technology-mission-directorate\/\">Space Technology Mission Directorate<\/a>, which oversees a broad portfolio of technology development and demonstration projects across NASA centers and American industry partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about  Cryogenic Fluid Management:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">  <a href=\"https:\/\/go.nasa.gov\/3TEjOLe\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/go.nasa.gov\/3TEjOLe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ramon J.
