NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced the appointment of Troy Asher as director of the Armstrong Flight Research Center, located in Edwards, California. Asher is a veteran of flight testing and an aerospace engineer with many years of experience in aviation research and operations. Since March of this year, he has held the position of acting director of the center. According to Isaacman, Asher's entire career has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of flight capabilities, making him a natural choice for permanent leadership of one of the space agency's key research divisions. The Armstrong Center specializes in flight testing of advanced aviation and space technologies, playing an important role in the development of the U.S. aerospace industry. Asher's appointment to the permanent position concludes the period of interim leadership of the center and solidifies continuity in the management of one of NASA's major divisions engaged in practical flight research.
