Figure 1 Former astronaut Frederick Gregory was named interim chief of NASA last week. He will fill in for NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, who left the agency on 11 February. The White House is expected to nominate O'Keefe's successor shortly, but it may take some time for Congress to confirm that candidate. Gregory, a former Air Force colonel, has served as NASA's deputy administrator since 2002. In 1985, he was the first black commander of a space shuttle mission. O'Keefe will become chancellor of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
