Theodore John (TJ) Kowal (born 28 September, 1964) is a NASA engineer. He previously was the NASA System Engineer for the Orbiter Thermal Protection System. He is currently the System Manager for the Thermal Protection System. Theodore Kowal attended High School at Canton McKinley High School. NASA Career Theodore Kowal has played many significant roles during his career at NASA. One of the more notable issues was during the STS-107 Columbia mission in which Kowal sent an email which stated, "I talked to Ignacio about the analysis he ran. In the case he ran, the large gouge is in the acreage of the door. If the gouge were to occur in a location where it passes over the thermal barrier on the perimeter of the door, the statement that there is no breeching of the thermal and gas seals would not be valid. I think this point should be clarified; otherwise, the note sent out this morning gives a false sense of security." Family Life Theodore Kowal is currently married to Jean Marie Kranz, the daughter of famed NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz.
