ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The Federal Women’ s Program Advisory Committee has been established to assist in the implementation of the Federal Women’ s Program at the Center. In an effort to define the specific problems of women employees at Langley, the committee is preparing a self-evaluation and discrimination questionnaire which will soon be distributed to all female employees. Members of the committee are (from left): Lorraine F. Satchell, Carmen, E. Batten, Patricia D. Hurt, Jane s. Hess, Chairman, Sallie M. Harvey, Eloise McGeehee, Mary W. Jackson, and Eunice G. Smith. Absent when the photograph was taken was Jeanette W. George. Photo published in the Langley Researcher, May 11,1973 page 5.

During the grand opening of the Heroes and Legends attraction at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the national anthem was performed by Carmen Harrell. The new facility includes the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame and looks back to the pioneering efforts of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. It sets the stage by providing the background and context for space exploration and the legendary men and women who pioneered the nation's journey into space.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Carmen Prater, with United Space Alliance, works on the flight deck of the orbiter Endeavour in bay 2 of the Orbiter Processing Facility. She wears a “bunny suit,” clean room attire required for anyone coming in close proximity to the orbiter. Endeavour is undergoing major modifications, which include inspecting more than 150 miles of wiring, bonding 1,000 thermal tiles, and installing the Multifunction Electronic Display Subsystem - a state-of-the-art “glass cockpit.” The full-color, flat-panel MEDS upgrade improves crew/orbiter interaction with easy-to-read, graphic portrayals of key flight indicators like attitude display and mach speed.
