Dan Hicks, Chief Engineer of Digital Engineering for Victory Solutions, offered our MSFC Configuration Management and Data Management (CMDM) team and NASA customers Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) CMDM-Based Overview training last week. Our CMDM team is learning more about MBSE and how its application may be used to continuously improve our CMDM processes supporting NASA Marshall Space Flight Center programs and projects.

Small Victories sponsored another amazing community service event Saturday April 27, 2024, at the Enable Madison County Vegetable Garden! Volunteers assembled raised vegetable garden beds and prepped the beds by filling them with leaves, sticks, wood chips, and garden soil. Onions and red beets were then planted to grow fresh produce to be shared with Enable clients 60 years and older. Our team looks forward to supporting this annual event again next year. Many thanks to our volunteers supporting this project and helping those in our community!

The Space Launch System (SLS) Configuration and Data Management Team had a great time at a picnic yesterday celebrating their many accomplishments and contributions to the SLS Program. The hot dogs and hamburgers were grilled to perfection and a great time was had by all! Since the event coincided with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Take Our Children to Work Day, several employees' children and grandchildren were able to share in the event and learn more about the many exciting things going on at MSFC.

Victory Solutions interns, Linda Myers and Zavier Jackson, were introduced by Calhoun Community College Systems Engineering Technology (SET) instructor, Ron Porter at this month's National Space Club - Huntsville breakfast meeting. Linda and Zavier are both doing their internships as subcontractors to Boeing supporting the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Space Launch System Program. The SET program at Calhoun trains system modelers in the use and application of tools used for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and helps address the growing need in the workforce for these high-demand skills. Calhoun will graduate their first cohort of SET students next month. Learn more about the SET Program at https://lnkd.in/gVX6H2Yj
