Rivers Lamb is the Associate Branch Head in the Computing Environments and Collaborative Technologies Branch at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. At the moment, he is also still working for the Flight Dynamics Analysis Branch as the Flight Dynamics Ground System Lead for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). He'll be supporting LRO Flight Dynamics through launch and lunar orbit insertion (currently scheduled for June 2009) at which point it will be time to learn about software engineering! Rivers has been inspired by space exploration since he was a kid and wanted to work for NASA for as long as he can remember! He is a graduate of the 2000 NASA Academy at Ames Research Center and started working at Goddard as a co-op in January 2001. Rivers graduated from Virginia Tech in 2003 with a BS in Aerospace Engineering and returned to Goddard to do trajectory design for the center's cool science missions!
