Engineering Success Podcast - The Engineering Career Podcast
My guest on today's podcast is an accomplished engineer, teacher, and advocate for traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM. Melissa Villegas Drake is a graduate of New Mexico State University, where she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. She has held multiple roles as an engineer, including working on the Space Shuttle Program, and had a second career as an educator teaching engineering to high school students aspiring to a career in engineering. One thing that has been consistent for Melissa is her advocacy for minority representation in engineering. While in school, she became involved with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and after starting her career, she continued her involvement and eventually became the National President of that organization. Melissa's newest adventure is her efforts to get more girls and women into tech careers. She and another colleague revived the Girls in Tech chapter in Phoenix, as her main goal is to inspire individuals to begin a career in tech. Being a coach to a FIRST robotics Girl Scout team, she is a formal volunteer for Girl Scouts. She is an ambassador of the Google Group Women Techmakers and was recently recognized as one of Phoenix Magazine's Great 48 Phoenicians. Melissa is such a wonderful ambassador for the engineering community, and I'm so grateful that she has offered her time to share her journey here on the podcast Don't miss a blog post or a podcast episode, subscribe to my newsletter on www.ENGRingSuccess.com Support the on podcast on Spotify or on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ENGRingSuccess Top tier supporters - shout out each episode of the month for $10 monthly donation.

In THE NEW GUYS, Bagby tells their full stories for the first time in a propulsive narrative that reads like a novel. In writing the book, Bagby researched oral histories, congressional hearings, investigative reports, and much more. But she also had exclusive access to and the cooperation of three of the first American women in space-Kathy Sullivan, Anna Fisher, and Rhea Seddon-as well as the first African American men to fly, Guy Buford and Fred Gregory. The astronauts in the class of 1978-which also included Sally Ride-broke barriers, became iconic household names, and ushered in the Shuttle program that remains the most difficult undertaking in the history of NASA. They lost their friends in the Challenger and Columbia disasters and forever altered the way humans think of space travel. The result is a remarkable story as nuanced and vibrant as its cast. Running parallel to their story is the extraordinary four-decade-long history of the shuttle itself. Conceived in the 1960s, the space shuttle was an ambitious new vehicle that would launch like a rocket, haul like a truck, and land like a plane. It would be NASA's most ambitious technical achievement. The New Guys pioneered the Space Shuttle Program, which defined a generation of space travel and helped build a dream of a new American century in space that brings all of the human race along.

Space shuttle Endeavour ended its flight career Sept. 21 as it toured California on the back of NASA's modified 747 carrier aircraft, landing at Los Angeles International Airport after its final ferry flight into history.The four-hour, 34-minute flight began at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base Friday morning, and over the ensuing hours the piggyback pair made low-level flybys over scores of California cities and landmarks, many of which had direct ties to NASA's Space Shuttle Program over the past 40 years.Ironically, the flyover was scheduled to fly right over our studios at KHITS 92.1, so my news and traffic reporter, Christine Reckford and I decided to broadcast from the stations rooftop and watch the flight while on the air. After waiting all morning with a no show shuttle, we decided to call Nasa and find out what was causing the delay. To our delight, we got to speak to Michael Curie, Nasa's premiere spokesperson who was actually on board the 747. This is that interview.Photo: Courtesy of Google Arts & Culture

Michael “Mike” Ciannilli is NASA's manager of the Apollo, Challenger, Columbia Lessons Learned Program, where he helps innovatively and effectively share NASA's lessons of the past to help ensure future success. Inspired by Mike and his work? Check out these videos from NASA EDGE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvOHNIbVBRI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtowgLH-HyA And read more about Mike here: As manager of this agency level program, Ciannilli oversees the Columbia Research and Preservation Office, which preserves all Columbia artifacts, as well as the loan program, which loans out Columbia artifacts for research and academic purposes. In addition, this role involves giving lessons learned tours for NASA engineers, scientists, interns, executives, commercial partners and others. During these tours, he uses the stories of Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia to share what has been learned from these past mishaps to prevent reoccurrence in future applications. Ciannilli also does lessons learned events at Kennedy Space Center where he works to bring these past experiences and the emotions behind the accidents alive through multimedia and storytelling; these events will be expanding across the agency. In addition to his main activities supporting the agency, Ciannilli also collaborates with outside media organizations like National Geographic to share these lessons learned with a wider audience. Prior to his current role, Ciannilli was the lead of the Columbia Research and Preservation Office, a position that is now encompassed in his new role. He also led the creation and development of the Forever Remembered project for Columbia and Challenger at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Previously, he served nine years as NASA Test Director for the Space Shuttle Program at Kennedy, responsible for processing oversight of the space shuttle orbiters and ground support systems including launch and landing facilities. In addition, this responsibility included leading the launch team through launch countdown activities. He also was the Landing Recovery Director during that time, responsible for leading contingency operations during launch countdown and landing activities, including flight crew recovery. In 2003, during the Columbia accident recovery, Ciannilli flew extensively onboard helicopters across Texas supporting air search operations and Columbia artifact recovery.Before joining NASA in 2005, Ciannilli was a contractor for the United Space Alliance where he spent eight years as a Test Project Engineer, leading the testing and engineering integration during processing of the shuttles and launch operations, and before that he was the lead of the Launch Countdown Simulation Team, which developed simulations to train the launch team. As the simulation lead for the Mission Management Team, he also trained the leadership of the Space Shuttle Program. Prior to this he worked as a fuel cell systems engineer assigned to Columbia. He also worked as an intern for Pan Am World Services at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base and taught high school. He has received numerous awards throughout his career, including the astronauts' Silver Snoopy, NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal, NASA Program Leadership Award, Launch and Landing Leadership Award, Launch Countdown Simulation Contingency Leadership Award, NASA Quest Outreach Award and a Columbia Recovery Team Award, among many others.

Joe Cassady is Executive Director of Space Programs in the Washington DC Operations for Aerojet Rocketdyne. Joe and the AR team help to plan human missions to the Moon and Mars, helping to develop the strategy and architectures for future space and launch systems. Joe and Beth met at the NASA Stennis Space Center and the NASA Michoud Assembly Center in New Orleans for the NASA Artemis Day celebration. Together, Beth and Joe geek out about rocket engines and what it takes to get us to the Moon and Mars and beyond. They discuss the different types of rockets, types of propulsion systems, how building rocket engines is a kind of architecture, and working to shorten the transit time of getting to the places we want to go in space. Learn what the GREEN RUN test is coming up, and why it’s another HUGE milestone in our journey toward our return to the moon. What surprises people most when it comes to rocket engines? Find out all this and more on this episode with Joe! Beth’s favorite quote from Joe on the podcast: “Literally, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of companies are involved- many are small companies that are our suppliers…they’re the real lifeblood of things like this and they are very proud of it. Being able to go out, and go across the country and say to people, ‘The road to Mars and the road back to the Moon starts here, in your town. You’re part of this’. It’s really exciting. More great stuff from Joe: “We’re able to use what we learned on the Space Shuttle Program- some of the very engines themselves on a fleet of orbiters that flew three of the RS-25s that gave us an inventory of engines! Rather than keeping them on the orbiters that went to museums, they removed the flight engines and we’ll be using them for the first few Artemis missions! We went back an equipped them with a new brain, and electronic controller…it’s really neat to see them be available to the nation to get us on this path in an accelerated way. “I’m looking forward to the day we put those boots back on the Moon, and I’m really really looking forward to seeing the first steps taken on the surface of Mars.” About Joe Cassady is Aerojet Rocketdyne's Executive Director for Space in the company’s Washington Operations.

The topic today is SPACE, which I love for many reasons. The first reason I love it led me to my career path as an aerospace engineer – I've worked for the International Space Station program and the Space Shuttle Program, and now I work for the Dream Chaser Program. Obviously, the exploration of outer space is key to my life and is a passion of mine. However, today I'm talking about a different kind of space – not an outer space but an inner space. In particular, it's space for our minds. I want to encourage you to look at how much time in your day you're allowing yourself to have space – real space. I'm not talking about setting the to do list aside for 5 minutes, I'm talking about giving yourself time when there's an emptiness of activity, when there's a pause, when you actually can focus on just being where you are. This is something I had to learn the value of – I'm more of a check the box, move forward, get going kind of person. But eventually I realized that this approach wasn't actually taking me to the best places in life and the places I wanted to go. If you have anything new you want to create in your life – whether it's a new relationship, a new level of wealth, a new level of health – it will require space, because space is the necessary ingredient for creativity. The opposite of space is only taking things in, filling up our day with action, moving outward with our attention instead of inward. Much of our time during the day is spent “doing things” – whether it's tasks for our job, taking care of our family, or taking care of ourselves, there's a lot of this “doing” that does have to happen. However, at some point during the day, every day, you must find a pause – if you want to be able to create more. My goal is to help you create the future that you're hoping for. So, for that reason alone, space is something to consider adding more of to your life. When we're busy ingesting information nonstop, we don't give our minds a chance to be creative. With “receive only” mode, we're reacting to something from the outside versus generating something new from within. When we give ourselves that period to pause, it finally gives our minds the chance to express something. At first, it's going to be interesting to see what's there if it's not something you do regularly! At first, there's often some trash to take out. But once they are given the chance to go beyond that, our minds start to generate ideas and insights. If I've been busy, and then go for a yoga class or a jog, I make a significant shift after just 5-10 minutes. Giving my mind that pause generates insights that I have been waiting for and answers to questions that I've been asking for a while. Whatever that “pause” looks like for you – make time for it in your day. Often, I'll notice that when I have a few minutes to relax, I'll flop down on the couch and start the social media scroll. I've stopped keeping my phone on me 24/7 simply to call my attention to this and avoid it. I encourage you to do the same. Simply putting your phone elsewhere will create pause moments for you. Even if you have an intention to scroll less, it can be something we start to do without even being aware we do it if we can grab our phone mindlessly from our pockets. To create something new in our lives, we need to give our minds that time to expand, and the only way it can expand outward is if it has the space to do so. It's a great start to use those activities we get absorbed in. Ultimately, I recommend meditation to all those I work with on creating conscious life change. That can mean literally just sitting somewhere, closing your eyes, locking the door, setting a timer for 2 or 5 minutes, and just being with yourself. The harder it is the more you need it. The more space you have in your mind means more possibilities for creating. If you want something new or different in your life, you're going to need creative space. Even a few minutes makes a world of difference!
Seeing a launch from a young age inspired a clear goal for Debi Tomek: a calling to work at NASA and help enable a sustainable human presence in space beyond Earth. Working towards this goal is exactly what Debi Tomek is doing, serving as the Deputy Director of the Space Technology and Exploration Directorate where she leads the formulation of the National Initiative for On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM). NASA has needed to shift and change just like everyone else, being innovative and flexible is NOT a new concept for NASA- The NASA ability to innovate and bring space-based solutions to us on Earth is what keeps Debi and the NASA teams going. Applying ways to help solve the current COVID problem for humanity -whether it be using NASA’s super computers and coders, algorithms, and understanding models, to the ways NASA implements new technologies that can help with everything from ventilators to computation of fluid dynamic to study penetrating different materials in the masks that folks are wearing. Learn what OSAM stands for and why it will CHANGE the future of space and the Mars Perseverance rover mission launched later this summer The many ways Aretims IS SO different from Apollo “If you’re life’s work can be accomplished in your lifetime, you’re not thinking big enough” is a quote that fuels Debi and her work to think beyond the Moon, Mars and even further! NASA HAS TECHNOLOGY READY TO GO. Right now today- ready to be used on the surface of Mars, and the Moon- working with commercial partners to develop the technologies- is EXACTLY the business model NASA’s has been planning for! About how NASA is working within the COVID-19 challenges: “At NASA, we're used to having to figure out how to operate and live around constraints. Think of space, think of everything we've got to do up there. You can't go outside on the space station very easily without any kind of being suited up and being protected. We can't get ourselves under the surface of the moon or to Mars, without having the proper constraints and limitations and understanding risk. So even though that's extreme sense, I think our ability at NASA to innovate and just think like that is helping us with the folks that are healthy, with COVID. How can we think out of the box, what innovations do we have in our way of thinking and how can we apply that to helping solve this problem for humanity whether it be our super computers and our coders, in the algorithm, and us understanding models, whether it be in our ability to innovate new technologies that can help with everything from ventilators to other areas, and they're actually using a lot of our computation through a dynamic spokes to do computer modeling of flow through masks that folks are wearing to understand how much is actually penetrating different materials. We're shifting like everybody else, but we're really trying to take how we think, how we innovate and how we've addressed challenges in space and how can we apply that thinking to here on Earth to help with this problem. Right now, that is a little glimmer of hope that's really kept us going.”-Debi Tomek from Casual Space Podcast About Debi Tomek: Deborah (Debi) Tomek began her career with NASA in 1997 at Langley Research Center.

Episode 004 - NASA Spinoffs FUN FACT OF THE DAY: THERE MAY BE A PLANET MADE OUT OF DIAMONDS. As space facts go, this is pretty impressive. Research by Yale University scientists suggests that a rocky planet called 55 Cancri e — which has a radius twice Earth’s, and a mass eight times greater – may have a surface made up of graphite and diamond. It’s 40 light years away but visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer. Contest Reminder Shout out to Gwydion 16 year old from North Whales hoping to study Astrophysics at University and go on to cool Space Stuff after that News: NASA will fly you to the sun — or at least your name. Now until April 27, NASA is accepting online submissions to be sent on the Parker Solar Probe all the way to the sun. Learn more and add your name to the mission here: http://go.nasa.gov/HotTicket China’s Space Station is crashing to Earth If you haven’t heard, Tiangong-1 launched in 2011 as China's first space laboratory, a first step to a permanent space station. For about five years, it orbited Earth and acted as a base for three missions for the Chinese National Space Administration. In September 2016, however, Chinese officials announced that they had lost control of the station, meaning it would eventually come hurtling back to Earth. Exactly when or where it would do so was a mystery. We’ve now learned that the 9.5 ton Heavenly Palace is expected to sometime in the next few weeks in Spain, Portugal, France, and maybe even Greece. Todays Topic: Spinoffs Tony what are spinoffs? Inside 2018 Spinoffs Since 2976, Spinoff has anually profiled an average of 50 commercial technologies with origins in NASA missions and research. You can download these issues at spinoff.nasa.gov Weightless “Weight” Lifting Builds Muscle on Earth In zero gravity, the human body quickly loses significant muscle and bone mass, making a rigorous workout schedule crucial to long-term health. OYO Fitness founder Paul Francis worked with NASA to develop a resistive exercise device for the astronauts to use in space. The innovation led to several lines of Earth-bound exercise devices, most recently OYO Fitness’ DoubleFlex Silver portable gym. Francis describes the DoubleFlex as the world’s only exercise device that applies resistance to both sides of muscle groups in one motion, enabling balanced bodybuilding in half the time. “Combining strength with movement, without weight or momentum, our portable gym is the new way to get fit anywhere, anytime,” he says. Space-Grade Insulation Keeps Beer Colder on Earth KegSheet beer keg insulators made with multilayer reflective thin-film insulation pioneered by NASA, are not just effective but also lightweight and low-mass, folding up small enough to fit in a back pocket. KegSheets began showing up at retailers, mostly around Philadelphia, in late summer of 2016, going for anywhere from $8 to $15. Most Famous Spinoffs Digital Image Sensors Whether you are using a DSLR camera, your cell phone, or a GoPro, you’re using NASA technology. The CMOS active pixel sensor in most digital cameras was invented when NASA needed to miniaturize cameras for missions to other planets. Related Myth: Didn’t NASA also invent the MRI?? CAT SCAN??? No, actually NASA did not invent it, but this active pixel sensor that was originally made to enhance images from the Moon and that was implemented in these cameras, was also used to improve images of the organs in the human body for diagnostic purposes. Two techniques that were improved by this spinoff were the CAT Scan and the MRI Enriched Baby Formula While developing life support systems for Mars missions, NASA-funded researchers discovered a natural source for an omega-3 fatty acid that is now incorporated into more than 90 percent of baby formulas on the market. Winglets Upturned tips of wings known as “winglets.” Winglets are used by nearly all modern aircraft and have saved many billions of dollars in fuel costs. GPS Before NASA, GPS data could be inaccurate by as much as 15 meters (50 feet)due to uncertainty of GPS satellites’ positions, drift in satellite clocks and interference from Earth’s atmosphere. In the 1990s, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) developed software to correct these uncertainties. This technology now supports all the world’s major precision-GPS providers with corrective data, enabling accuracy up to within five centimeters. Memory Foam Created to keep test pilots cushioned during flights. Today, we use it for beds, couches, chairs, shoes, movie theater seats , and football helmets. Advanced Water Filtration Even though we’ve recently discovered water on the Moon and on Mars, these planets are still considered deserts. Every drop must be recycled and reused. A nanofiber filter created to purify water in orbit aboard the ISS is currently at work on Earth in devices that supply water to remote villages as well as in a water bottle that lets hikers and adventurers gather water from streams and lakes and filter it right there in there bottle. Invisible Braces A company working with NASA invented the translucent ceramic that became “invisible” braces, which went on to become one of the best-selling orthodontic products of all time. Cochlear Implants Adam Kissiah, an engineer at Kennedy Space Center who was hearing impaired used his NASA experience from work in the Space Shuttle Program to develop a hearing aid that worked by electric impulses rather than sound amplification. Dustbuster/ Cordless Tools One of the most successful commercial spinoffs of space When astronauts in the Apollo program needed to bring tools far away from the lander, NASA made them cordless tools. All of the screwdrivers you see when you walk into Home Depot exist because of this The most popular spinoff being the Dustbuster cordless vacuum. Laptop In November 1983, NASA flew a nine-day space shuttle mission that marked the space debut of SPOC, the Shuttle Portable Onboard Computer… or, the first laptop. Since then, computer companies have all used this technology. Freeze Drying When NASA was creating food for astronauts to eat in space, they worked with Nestle to come up with Freeze Drying – a process that involves dehydration of food to make it more convenient for transport, but is now used commercially with fruit and even insects.. Scratch-resistant Lenses To withstand to harsh environments of space, NASA developed a diamond-like carbon coating for the Astronauts visors. This was eventually spunoff to the sunglasses industry and most higher quality sungalasses are coated with this. Joystick This computer gaming device was first used on the Apollo Lunar Rover. However, gaming wasn’t it’s first spinoff application. In 1972, a paraplegic named Tom Wertz noticed Apollo astronauts driving the Lunar Rover with the joystick of their time, known as the T-bar. After testing himself, he realized that if this could be adapted to cars, it would help the handicapped population immensely. After nearly 10 years in development NASA and the Department of Veterans Affairs developed a joystick called Unistik, that was installed to control a Ford van. NOT NASA -Mistakenly Attributed Items The following is a list of technologies sometimes mistakenly attributed directly to NASA. In many cases, NASA popularized technology or aided its development, which ultimately resulted in the technology's creation. Tang juice powder - Tang was developed by General Foods in 1957, and it has been for sale since 1959. It was used in the multiple space missions, which gave brand awareness to it. Barcodes - The barcode was invented in 1948. However, NASA developed a type of barcode that could endure in space environments. Space Pen - An urban legend states that NASA spent a large amount of money to develop a pen that would write in space (the result purportedly being the Fisher Space Pen), while the Soviets used pencils. While NASA did spend funds to create a pen to work in space, the project was cancelled due to public opposition, and U.S. astronauts used pencils until the Fisher space pen was invented by a third party. Velcro - Velcro is a Swiss invention from the 1940s. Velcro was used during the Apollo missions to anchor equipment for astronauts; it is used for convenience in zero gravity situations.

In this episode, Alex was joined by Jerry Goodson for some Space Shuttle Talk. Jerry Goodson worked on the Space Shuttle Program for over 35 years and worked all the way from being a technician in the aft section of the spacecraft to Launch Test Conductor. This episode is a great starting point for anyone who wants to learn about the Space Shuttle. We covered the three major stages of the shuttle - development, orbital missions, and building the ISS. Jerry gave a breakdown of the Columbia and Challenger disasters. We discussed the expectations vs. realities of reusability with Shuttle, triple redundancy, and the impact that retiring the Space Shuttle had on the average American's perception of NASA today. We also dive into discussions about where the Space program goes now without the Space Shuttle, and the difficulties of running a Space program. SPACE TALK WITH NO LIMITS WWW.TODAYINSPACE.NET

Carolyn Biggerstaff is a volunteer chapter leader for the Houston-Galveston chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit charity founded in 1999 to promote education about health and nutrition based on the research of Dr. Weston A. Price. I have been a chapter leader for about three years but have been studying nutrition as it applies to health for over thirty years, buying organic foods and eating whole foods long before it became popular. I am a volunteer educator, not a health professional. I was a senior financial analyst for a NASA contractor before my retirement in 2011 at the end of the Space Shuttle Program. I have attended many conferences and seminars and am always reading and researching about health and nutrition. In addition to membership in the Weston A. Price Foundation, I am a member of the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, and the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.
On 8 July 2011, the US space shuttle program came to an end. The shuttle Atlantis was the last operational shuttle to be launched into space; its mission was to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). The space shuttle program lasted for 30 years and involved 135 launches and two tragic disasters.
The team from CTTechJunkie.com shot exclusive FLIR infrared footage of Atlantis' final landing. They were also present for the shuttle's "tow back" to the Orbiter Processing Facility where United Space Alliance employees walked alongside the orbiter they have worked with for nearly three decades.

The Space Task Force at the launch of STS-129. Wow. Tim and I have been fortunate to see launches at the Kennedy Space Center, but today was extremely special. Cloudy weather cleared, we got to see a lot of old friends and the launch was incredible. As NASA starts to wind down the Space Shuttle Program - it's important to think about the future. 5 flights remain. We'll see you in space!
