Explore NASA History at UHCL

The comprehensive Glynn S. Lunney Papers are now open at UHCL's Alfred R. Neumann Library Archives & Special Collections! 📚 This rare collection, generously donated by Lunney's family, offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at a NASA icon.
Lunney’s pivotal leadership ranged from serving as flight director for historic missions like Apollo 11 and the Apollo 13 rescue, to leading the Space Shuttle Program Office beginning in 1981, just ahead of its inaugural launch. 🛰️
