  • Summary

  • On the next episode of SOUNDS with Tom Needham, we are honored to feature Dr. Charles Camarda, a NASA veteran whose remarkable career has left a lasting impact on space exploration. Growing up in Ozone Park, Queens, Dr. Camarda rose to prominence as a mission specialist on the historic STS-114, the first space shuttle mission following the tragic Columbia disaster in 2003.

    Beyond his time in space, he has held key leadership roles, including director of engineering at the Johnson Space Center and deputy director of NASA’s Engineering and Safety Center.

    Dr. Camarda has been a steadfast advocate for safety and accountability within the space program, courageously addressing systemic challenges and leadership culture at NASA.


    He joins us to discuss his groundbreaking career and his new book, ”Mission Out of Control,” which explores the erosion of a research-focused culture in high-risk organizations.
