Women of NASA Drive Exploration and Discovery

1. 0:05March is Women’s History Month. There are women at NASA contributing every day
2. 0:10to the success of our current missions and paving the way for future generations to reach the stars.
3. 0:18Mallory Jennings is the first female System manager for the Extravehicular Mobility Unit,
4. 0:24or EMU. The EMU is the spacesuit worn by astronauts during a spacewalk outside
5. 0:30the International Space Station. Mallory coordinates all the engineering aspects from hardware to new technologies. From communications to thermal protection to oxygen,
6. 0:41all the systems work together to protect astronauts from the harsh environment of space.
7. 0:49NASA is designing a new space suit for the Artemis missions to the Moon. Liana Rodriggs
8. 0:55is leading the team, using new technologies to develop and build the Exploration EMU spacesuit.
9. 1:02She’s the inspirational leader who will help our next Moonwalkers. They will have more natural
10. 1:08mobility and a robust life support system -- to explore the lunar surface and beyond.
11. 1:14Have you ever driven a remote control car? Now imagine it was on another planet. Farah Alibay
12. 1:22is a systems engineer working on our new Mars Rover, Perseverance. As the rover moves across
13. 1:28the Red Planet, the systems she worked on make sure the rover knows the direction it’s pointed
14. 1:34and updates that position for teams back on Earth. She spent last summer testing our new rover’s
15. 1:41capabilities in a giant sandbox with the replica of the rover.
16. 1:47Not only do we study other worlds, but we also study Earth, our very own planet. From space, the
17. 1:53LandSAT program maps Earth’s surface to provide information about our resources and environment.
18. 2:01Melody Djam is leading the development of an instrument on the newest LandSAT spacecraft that
19. 2:06will launch this September. That instrument will measure the surface temperatures of our planet.
20. 2:14Lola Fatoyinbo Agueh uses satellite imagery and data to study forests. Her research reveals how
21. 2:21our ecology has changed over time and works to predict how it might change in the future.
22. 2:29Lola is working to make our planet a better place.
23. 2:33Erica Alston inspires students through the Space Grant Program.
24. 2:38As an engineer, Erica used our satellite data to focus on air quality and climate change. Now,
25. 2:45she expands opportunities for young Americans to understand and participate in our space projects,
26. 2:51just like she did. Erica is a role model for future generations.
27. 2:58Did you know the skills used to build spacecraft were also used to develop
28. 3:03ventilators for COVID-19 patients? Michelle Easter is an expert in Mechatronics which is the design,
29. 3:10assembly and test of mechanisms controlled by electronics.
30. 3:14She was part of the team that designed low-cost ventilators in response to the pandemic. Michelle
31. 3:20was the first female to join the Mechatronics Group at our Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
32. 3:29Laurie Grindle is responsible for flight programs and projects at our Armstrong Flight Research
33. 3:34Center. Flight research and testing is vital in the development of new aircraft. Laurie oversees cutting-edge aerospace concepts
34. 3:38and technologies,-- including experimental aircraft and unmanned aircraft systems.
35. 3:50Women’s contributions at NASA reach other solar systems.
36. 3:55Knicole Cologne’s work involves the discovery and characterization of exoplanets. These are planets
37. 4:01that orbit around other stars. Using several NASA observatories, she studied a ‘puffy’ exoplanet
38. 4:09with low-density similar to Styrofoam. Nicole’s work is expanding what we know about the universe.
39. 4:18At NASA, women innovate, break barriers, and explore the unknown. The list of their achievements is being built upon every single day.
40. 4:29This March, take a moment to recognize the contributions to
41. 4:33the world around us made by women, and together we celebrate Women’s History Month.
