Kavandi served as center director at NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center from March 14, 2016 until, September 30, 2019. During that period, Kavandi helped navigate the center through a government shutdown, the first steps in a major agency reorganization, and the introduction of NASA\u2019s ambitious Artemis program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kavandi became interested in space in the early 1960s while watching the night skies and discussing the early US space activities with her father. She went on to earn bachelors and master\u2019s degrees in chemistry in her native Missouri. Kavandi then worked in industry as an engineer while earning her doctoral degree at the University of Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1994, Kavandi was inducted into NASA\u2019s astronaut corps and served as a mission specialist on STS-91 in 1998, STS-99 in 2000, and STS-104 in 2001. In April 2002, Kavandi was among a small team of astronauts that visited NASA Glenn to learn about the Fluids Integration Rack and the Light Microscopy Module that were subsequently installed on the International Space Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kavandi worked in various roles at Johnson Space Center (JSC) during the 2000s. In 2013, she was appointed director for Flight Crew Operations, where she chaired the committee that selected individuals for a new class of astronauts. Kavandi was subsequently named deputy director, then director of JSC\u2019s Flight Crew Operations and deputy director of the Health and Human Performance Directorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After nearly 20 years at JSC, Kavandi was appointed as deputy director at NASA Glenn under Jim Free in February 2015. Kavandi\u2019s new duties included planning, organizing, and managing the agency-level programs and projects assigned to the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2016, after just over a year at the center, Kavandi was named center director.  As someone relatively new to the center and without a background in research, Kavandi focused on providing the staff with the means to succeed. \u201cI think it\u2019s sort of like the mayor of small, little community,\u201d she noted later.<\/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-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Janet Kavandi at podium.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg 2091w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=300,222 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=768,567 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=1024,757 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=1536,1135 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=2048,1513 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=400,296 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=600,443 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=900,665 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=1200,887 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/grc-2017-c-02358.jpg?resize=2000,1478 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Janet Kavandi meets with employees in May 2017.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>During Kavandi\u2019s first year as director, the center tested the European Service Module at Plum Brook Station (today, NASA\u2019s Neil Armstrong Test Facility) and was responsible for the design and development of the Space Launch System\u2019s Universal Stage Adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2016, Kavandi introduced new set of professional standards, which she called \u201cGlenn\u2019s 7 Expected Behaviors.\u201d She and her senior leadership spent months working on the effort, which was based on the HEROICS acronym\u2014Helping All To Succeed, Excellence, Respect, Openness, Integrity, Cooperation and Safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2017, President Donald Trump signed a directive instructing NASA to send humans to the Moon by 2025. The extensive effort included Gateway, a space station orbiting the Moon. In January 2018, Kavandi announced that the center was given responsibility for the solar electric propulsion thruster and the Power and Propulsion Element of the Gateway lunar platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Kavandi the center continued carrying out its facilities master plan with installation of a new main entrance at Plum Brook in early 2016, groundbreaking for the Research Support Building in August 2018, and the demolition of the Cyclotron and Special Projects Laboratory in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2018, Administrator James Bridenstein recommended that Kavandi be appointed as deputy administration at NASA Headquarters. Ultimately, the Trump administration selected another candidate, and Kavandi continued as Glenn director. This included supporting the center\u2019s Artemis activities, such as environmental testing of SpaceX\u2019s Crew Dragon vehicle in the summer of 2018. Kavandi also had to deal with two government shutdowns when only essential security and maintenance work was permitted.   The 35-day closure from December 2018 to January 2019 was the longest shutdown in US history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kavandi\u2019s announcement that she was retiring in September 2019 came as a surprise to many, who expected her to move on to an agency position. At her farewell gathering, Kavandi told the Glenn employees, \u201cYou gave me every opportunity to succeed, and you taught me a lot.  I\u2019m so proud of everything that you do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kavandi went on to serve as the president of Sierra Space in Louisville, Colorado. She has been recognized with a Presidential Rank Award, NASA\u2019s Distinguished Service Medal, two NASA Outstanding Leadership Medals, two Exceptional Service Medals, and three NASA Space Flight Medals.
