So very sad to hear of Marty's passing. He was a terrific leader who combined technical savvy with leadership and management skills, greatly benefiting the country. He provided sage counsel and was helpful to me in many ways as the Chair of the Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Advisory Board-my condolences to his family.

Mr Faga was a true gentleman whose quiet way and humility was central. He was a great man and truly made a difference to the world.
