October General Meeting - October 26, 2019

Our October speaker is Alicia Dwyer Cianiolo, an aerospace engineer with NASA. The presentation will discuss her experience landing robots on Mars and the lessons learned from that experience being applied to return people to the moon and eventually Mars. Finally, the presentation will include a discussion of how recent exoplanets discoveries and the upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope will impact what comes next. Find out more about Alicia and other woman engineers at engineergirl.org.
