Arnold Torres retired as Senior Manager of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) and Director of NASA’s GSFC Suborbital and Special Orbital Projects Directorate, positions that he had held since January 1995. Among the changes that had occurred under Torres’s tenure, WFF had begun to manage small payloads for Space Shuttles and had developed the Ultra-Long Duration Balloon (ULDB), capable of flying for 100 days. Torres had begun working at NASA in 1978 as an atmospheric scientist, and in 1985 GSFC had awarded him an Exceptional Achievement Award.
