¡Hola familia!
Welcome back !
Engineer of the week:
Dr. Ellen Ochoa
Dr. Ellen Ochoa has broken through many barriers in her career, including the Earth’s atmosphere! Dr. Ochoa was selected as NASA’s first female Hispanic astronaut in 1991. She completed four missions and spent more than 950 hours in space, using her knowledge about physics and engineering to work on flight hardware and software, robotics, space station design, and more, even inventing a new optical analysis system. She was later promoted to director of the Johnson Space Center—she was the first Hispanic director and only the second female director of the Center. She continues to embrace her role as a trailblazer and role model, saying, “I hope to continue to inspire our nation's youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math so they, too, may reach for the stars.”
