The Greenbelt Space Chapter (GSC) of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) was founded in September 2004 by Damon Bradley, an Electrical Engineer at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). GSFC is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) centers located throughout the US. Goddard Space Flight Center is located in Greenbelt, Maryland. Goddard is home to scientists, engineers, technicians, managers, and the necessary financial and administrative staff to support the Earth science, space science, and exploration projects.
Damon was very active in the student chapter of NSBE during his undergraduate studies in Pennsylvania. Through this experience, Damon learned firsthand the importance, significance, and impact of the NSBE organization. This prompted him to begin the NSBE-GSC during his second year of employment.
