RESOLUTION 
Commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Marshall Space 
Flight Center and recognizing its continued leadership 
in the development of the Space Launch System and 
human space exploration. 
Whereas the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), located 
in Huntsville, Alabama, was officially established on July 
1, 1960, as one of the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration’s (NASA) premier centers for spaceflight 
research and development; 
Whereas MSFC played a pivotal role in the historic Apollo

ing achievement in American scientific and engineering 
excellence; 
Whereas MSFC has consistently led innovation and mission 
support for critical NASA programs, including Skylab, 
America’s first space station, the Hubble Space Tele-
scope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and numerous other 
scientific payloads that have revolutionized understanding 
of the universe; 
Whereas MSFC has provided engineering leadership, payload 
integration, and science operations in support of the 
International Space Station (ISS), helping maintain a 
continuous human presence in space since the year 2000; 
Whereas MSFC continues to serve as the lead center for the 
development and integration of the Space Launch System 
(SLS), NASA’s most powerful launch vehicle since Sat-
urn V, and a cornerstone of the Artemis program; 
Whereas the SLS represents the Nation’s commitment to re-
turning humans to the Moon, preparing for future crewed 
missions to Mars, and expanding deep space exploration 
for generations to come; 
Whereas MSFC’s leadership in the SLS program exemplifies 
the Center’s unmatched technical expertise in large-scale 
propulsion systems, systems integration, and complex 
spaceflight engineering; 
Whereas the Center continues to serve as an anchor for the 
aerospace industry and STEM education in the Ten-
nessee Valley region and beyond, providing high-tech
