Watch Party - Meet a NASA Navigator and Analog Astronaut!

QPL South Jamaica Branch · Jamaica

Celebrate Space Month in October! Join us for a virtual conversation with Sarah Elizabeth McCandless from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory! Sarah Elizabeth is a navigation engineer who has contributed to thirteen NASA missions exploring our solar system, including Artemis I and II, the Mars Perseverance rover, and Europa Clipper. As a mission navigator, she ensures NASA knows exactly where a spacecraft is and can accurately predict its trajectory for successful orbital insertions or landings on other planets or celestial bodies. In 2024, she also served as an “analog astronaut,” completing a 45‑day simulated mission to Mars. A Q&A will follow the presentation.
