2010 - Micrometeoroid and orbital debris specialist
Engineering Design
About This Innovation
* Hernández’s work as a micrometeoroid and orbital debris specialist ensured the safety of spacecraft in relation to orbital debris and other obstacles, such as radiation, through many analyses and assessments. * During Hernánandez’s time with STABLE, she completed a project called Comet Sliding Spring which led Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Odyssey, and MAVEN safely in the comet event as Comet Siding Spring passed extremely close to Mars on 19 October 2014. This led Hernánandez to work with the Mars team for their mission. * Hernández’s contribution consisted of ensuring that instruments used by NASA were being built safely and tested them to see if they performed properly when taken out on Mars.
