Abstract
Why yes, this is rocket science…
How do astronauts, satellites, and payloads get into space? What does NASA’s mission to Mars look like? What does a rocket scientist really do? This presentation will provide a behind the scenes look at the engineering and physics of past and current space missions using solid rocket motors from the perspective of a rocket scientist. Learn about the ins and outs of her career path and discover what it really takes to be a rocket scientist. The foundation developed in an academic career in physics or engineering will provide a strong background required for launching your career as a rocket scientist.
