CENTER

NASA Administrator Richard H. Truly today announced the


appointment of Dr. John Klineberg as Director of Goddard Space
Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., effective July 1, 1990.
Klineberg will succeed Dr. John Townsend, who announced his
planned retirement effective June 30, 1990.

Klineberg, a 20-year NASA veteran, has been Director of


Lewis Research Center (LeRC), Cleveland, for the past 3 years.
Truly, commenting on the appointment said, "We are fortunate to
have on our management team a man of Dr. Klineberg's experience
and ability to take over this challenging assignment at a time
when Goddard Space Flight Center is at the heart of so many of
NASA's science programs, both in flight now and planned for the
next few years."

Klineberg joined NASA 20 years ago at Ames Research Center,


Moffett Field, Calif. He conducted research in the area of
transonic flow with emphasis on numerical methods for
calculating air boundary layer separation. In 1974, he moved to
NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C., as head of the low speed
aircraft branch in the Office of Aeronautics and Space
Technology, eventually rising to Deputy Associate Administrator
for Aeronautics and Space Technology. He was assigned to LeRC
as Deputy Director in 1979 and was named Director in 1987.

Klineberg is the recipient of many prestigious awards


including the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal and the
Presidential Rank of Meritorious Excellence. He was educated at
Princeton University, and he received his doctorate at the
California Institute of Technology. Klineberg and his wife,
Anne-Marie, have three sons.
