You can’t write the story of America’s Space Shuttle without including Bob Sieck, one of its important leaders of the 30-year program. Bob is also a long-time board member and past treasurer of ASM, and he is supporting this mini-fundraiser for our non-profit organization.
Sieck will share some experiences and answer questions at the Melbourne club at 6:30 pm with dinner at 7 pm, and a follow-up session after the meal.
Cost of this ASM mini-fundraiser is $40 per person, with tickets available HERE
The dinner will feature lasagna, salad, rolls, desert and coffee. A cash bar will be available.
After graduating from the University of Virginia with an Electrical Engineering degree in 1960, the Air Force trained Bob to be a meteorologist supporting missile and aircraft operations. Bob left Air Force active duty and joined NASA at KSC in 1964 as a spacecraft systems engineer for the Gemini and Apollo programs. After Apollo he was transferred to the Space Shuttle program where he was one of the architects of the complex program as key leader in the management ranks.
Bob Sieck was Launch Director for 51 Space Shuttle missions before retiring in 1999 as KSC Director of Shuttle Processing. After retirement he has served on many NASA review boards and is currently a member of the NASA Advisory Council and the SpaceX Safety Panel.
The American Space Museum in Titusville is the business of the non-profit U.S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation, which since 1988 has been preserving the birth of America’s Space Age in Brevard County, Florida. Contact director Mark Marquette, at marq@americanspacemuseum.org or (321) 264-0434.

321 Day 2026 - Celebrating Brevard's "Birthday" & Honoring Ozzie Osband "Father of 3-2-1 Area Code"
2026-03-21 11:00 - 17:00 | Space View Park, 17 Orange St, Titusville, FL, 32796, United States
The third annual “321 Day” is a FREE lively booths and vendors farmers market style celebration of Brevard’s “Birthday” and the 3-2-1 area code that unites our Space Coast community, thanks to the vision of Robert “Ozzie” Osband. Join us as we honor the moments, people, and stories that made us who we are. Expect food, music, history, and, of course, a countdown to our shared legacy. Why is 321 Day on March 21?: “3/21”.
Map & Contacts (page bottom).
Featuring

Food trucks.
Adult beverages.
Live music.
Exhibitors representing many of the causes for which Ozzie volunteered.
The 321 Day site has detailed Agenda, Sponsor, Food, Exhibitor and Vendor info as well as Vendor & Sponsorship contact info.

Help the Cause
321 Day is a volunteer run mission. All donations support event expenses this year and for the years to come. This event supports the mission of the American Space Museum ** in downtown Titusville.
Please Donate now! Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals….and the life of “321 Day”.
What defines our county’s birth?
If there’s one force that truly put Brevard on the map, it was the birth of the space program, a movement that transformed this region into the launchpad of human exploration. The space program’s origins stretch across decades, shaped by visionaries, engineers, and dreamers. So what defines our county’s birth? What moment unites our past, present, and future? For that, we look to 321, a simple area code—yet so much more. Thanks to Ozzie, the 321 count down became the signature of Florida’s Space Coast, forever linking our community to space exploration. It’s the one thread that ties us all together, from the beaches of Titusville to the launchpads of Kennedy Space Center, from the historic charm of Cocoa Village to the thriving industries and growing communities of Palm Bay.
How Ozzie brought the 3-2-1 Area Code to Brevard County
In 1998, Orlando was overloading the Space Coast “407” telephone area code. Ozzie researched that “321” was available, and thought it appropriate for the area where rocket launches end in 3-2-1. Other areas wanted it but Ozzie single-handedly campaigned a year through the proper government hurdles to install “321” on the Space Coast and leave “407” with Orlando. On Nov. 1, 1999, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush placed the first official “321” phone call from Tallahassee to Kennedy Space Center, with Ozzie sitting beside the deputy director receiving the call.
* More About Ozzie
Ozzie Osband died Aug. 6, 2023 of natural causes at age 72. He was born in New York, and lived much of his life in the Titusville area. He had his own computer software company and was well known in the Amateur “ham” Radio community with call N4SCY. A 20-year volunteer for the museum, he was webmaster for the 20-plus Museums of Brevard and active in the Democratic Party. As an Army veteran, Ozzie was interred at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, Florida.
