On this episode of our Woman Who Innovate podcast, Marie-Noëlle Morency from Randstad Canada has a conversation with the outstanding Farah Alibay, an aerospace engineer at NASA in the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and who has worked on the InSight, Mars Cube One, and Mars 2020 missions. Let's get into the conversation.
Dans ce balado « femmes innovantes », Marie-Noëlle Morency, de Randstad Canada, s'entretient avec la remarquable Farah Alibay, une ingénieure en aérospatiale du Jet Propulsion Laboratory de la NASA qui a participé aux missions InSight, Mars Cube One et Mars 2020.
The daring twins seem to have reached their limit. It has been over a month since engineers have heard from MarCO.
MarCO, short for Mars Cube One, was the first interplanetary mission to use a class of mini-spacecraft called CubeSats.
This week on SPEXcast we continue 'Mars May' with Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) engineer Joel Steinkraus to discuss two CubeSats hitching a ride with the InSight mission, which launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on May 5th. Mars Cube One (MarCO) is comprised of a pair of 6U CubeSats which will each relay signals from the InSight lander back to Earth during while it enters the Martian atmosphere. We ask Joel about the technology behind MarCO and the challenges of designing two interplanetary CubeSats.
