Honoring Samuel Massenberg

While serving as one of the first and few Black pilots in the U.S. military, Samuel Massenberg became a professor of aerospace studies at North Carolina A&T. He retired from the Air Force in 1969 and went on to earn his doctorate in education, which ultimately led him to work as Director of Education for Langley National Aerospace and Space Administration. In 1986, he established the Langley Aerospace Research Student Scholar program, and then went on to develop the NASA CONNECT program, both geared toward students across the country who are interested in and excel in STEM.
