NASA announced October 16 that Stephen Cash will become director of its Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, effective Monday, October 19.
Cash is a veteran engineer and aerospace leader who previously served in NASA’s safety and mission-assurance operations. The agency said he began his NASA career at Marshall more than four decades ago and later worked in the private aerospace sector after retiring from the agency.
The appointment comes as Marshall continues work supporting the Artemis program, advanced propulsion and other major spaceflight systems. NASA said Rae Ann Meyer, who has served as acting director since September 2025, will return to her role as deputy center director.
The announcement is an appointment effective October 19, NASA’s announced start date. This report does not independently confirm his first day in office.
