Benjamin P. Honey

Benjamin Honey is an Attitude Determination and Control Officer (ADCO) for the International Space Program at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, with Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Inc..  He was brought into the new fast track “operator” training flow in 2009, a program designed to more quickly certify college graduates as ISS systems flight controllers.  Honey was the first ADCO operator to go on to receive the “specialist” certification, which allowed him to then serve as the lead ADCO for planning and coordination of the SpaceX CRS-3 flight to ISS, and Increment 40 during the summer of 2014. He has accumulated over 1,000 hours manning the ADCO console in Flight Control Room 1 (FCR-1) for activities such as vehicle dockings, orbital correction burns, and extravehicular activity.  Honey has a Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona.
