Meyerson launched his career as an aerospace engineer at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) from 1985 to 1997 working ^[3] on human spaceflight systems, including the aerodynamic design of the Space Shuttle orbiter drag parachute,^[8] as well as the overall design, integration, and flight test of a gliding parachute for the X-38 Crew Rescue Vehicle,^[9] a crew return vehicle designed to return astronauts to earth from the International Space Station. Meyerson began with NASA in 1985 as a cooperative education student at JSC.^[10]

Meyerson has been a longtime advocate for outreach programs that provide work experience and sponsors Blue’s internship program, which has inspired and encouraged many university level students to pursue careers in the aerospace industry. In December 2016, Meyerson gave the commencement speech at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.^[11]

Originally from Southfield, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit,^[4] Meyerson earned a B.S. in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan and a master's degree in engineering management from the University of Houston. He is an AIAA Fellow,^[16] and a former member of the Aerodynamic Decelerator Systems Technical Committee.^[17]

He was awarded the Space Flight Award by the American Astronautical Society in 2016. This award is given annually and is the highest award bestowed by the AAS.^[18]

Quotations

"Competition is a good thing (...) It keeps you sharp and it keeps you focused."^[19]

“Having the opportunity to grow a team from 10 people to more than 1,200 has been a very proud accomplishment for me. Hiring them, motivating and challenging them, developing them into engineers and leaders, and then watching them accomplish historic achievements has been uniquely satisfying and very special.”^[20]

“Start with passion for mission. Has the candidate demonstrated his or her passion for working in the space field? This is foundational, so no amount of judgment, intelligence or experience can overcome a lack of passion for our mission.”^[20]
