In this article, The AFIT Foundation is recognizing Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Tim Dunn, Launch Director at NASA!

Lt Col Dunn received his MS in Space Operations from the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology in 1992. He wanted to join the U.S. Air Force to work in the space career field and be part of a mission team defending our nation. Lt Col Dunn now works for NASA as the Senior Launch Director for the Launch Services Program, integrating and launching NASA’s science and robotic spacecraft.

Lt Col Dunn enjoyed the camaraderie of his Graduate Space Operations class as they attended class, studied, and ran on the track next to AFIT together.

AFIT gave Lt Col Dunn the knowledge and academic experience necessary to enter the launch operations area of the space career field. This had an enormous impact on every launch job he has held for the past 31 years in the USAF, private sector, and NASA!

Lt Col Dunn would advise anyone of the incredible opportunity available to them by joining the military, as it provides experience and education that will benefit them for a lifetime. Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Dunn!
