Description: Dan Maznek is a Senior Space Systems Engineer at NASA’s Langley Research Center. Dan is excited about the big ideas NASA has about its Asteroid Redirect Mission. You may have heard the agency is planning to capture an asteroid and move it into orbit around the moon. ”Why?”, You might ask. “Well, this is not your run of the mill, “bring me a rock” exercise. On the contrary. The technologies and the operational capabilities that will be developed to enable us to retrieve the asteroid, move it and send astronauts to it for research, will be repurposed to also help us send astronauts to Mars. How’s that for an idea?!

Description: Molly White is an aerospace engineer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
She is part of the team that is working to design an effective heat shield for the Orion spacecraft. The heat shield ,which is the exterior layer of Orion, isn’t used until the last part of the mission – the return to Earth. But this just happens to be one of the most dangerous parts of the mission because of the outrageous temperatures the spacecraft encounters while plummeting through the atmosphere at breakneck speeds. How hot can it get, you ask? It can get really, really hot like two-times the temperatures of molten lava! The heat shield’s job is to make sure that astronauts inside Orion stay cool and comfortable during this phase of the mission, despite the conditions outside the spacecraft. This is important work that is helping to advance NASA’s Journey to Mars.

Description: Abigail Ryan works on solid oxide fuel cell technologies at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. It’s a power source that uses oxygen and methane to create power and water – that’s pretty resourceful. This type of fuel cell technology could be used to power future lander spacecraft touching down on Mars. Her team is also looking at ways for future Mars missions to develop multi-purpose technologies. Common components used across multiple technologies will be easier to fix and the mission won’t have to travel to Mars with as many spare parts – which will save fuel because of the lighter load. Finding new ways to make the best use of what’s available will definitely help on NASA’s Journey to Mars.
