Thanks to Dan Hicks for an excellent Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) training session focused on our NASA NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Configuration and Data Management Team last Friday. This supports MSFC Digital Transformation efforts especially in support of Space Launch Systems (SLS) future missions.

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!

A great time was had by all at the Calhoun Black & White Gala Friday evening at the Cook Museum of Natural Science in Decatur, AL! Victory Solutions was proud to be a Silver Sponsor for the event which raises funds for scholarships, professional development, curriculum improvement and promotion of programs offered at  Calhoun Community College. Also had the opportunity to meet Anthony Sanders, a Systems Engineering Technoloy (SET) student at Calhoun, who provided the audience with information on this new program educating systems modelers to meet the demand for MBSE-skilled employees in the aerospace and defense industries.

As a recipient of the Boeing 2022 Supply Chain Performance Achievement (SPCA) Award, Victory Solutions was invited to attend Boeing’s Supplier of the Year event. Kris McGuire, founder and CEO, David Alan Smith, President and David’s wife Lori attended the event held last week in Orlando, FL.

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.
