Marshall Space Flight Center. President Dwight D. Eisenhower dedicated NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, on September 8, 1960. This followed the activation of the facility in July of that year, when a key element of the U.S. Army’s Ballistic Missile Agency was transferred from the Department of Defense to NASA. The Marshall Center is named in honor of General George C. Marshall, who was the Army Chief of Staff during World War II, U.S. Secretary of State, and a Nobel Prize winner for his post-World War II ‘Marshall Plan.’
