2011 - Worked in Thermal Fluid Sciences to insure planetary protection in NASA's 2020 Mars mission.
Planetary Protection
About This Innovation
* Cooper’s research at Drexel University College of Engineering involved thermal fluid sciences, which led to her dissertation focused on non-equilibrium plasma sterilization of spacecraft materials. * She joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Planetary Protection Group at NASA in 2011. * Planetary protection is the practice of protecting solar system bodies from contamination by Earth life and protecting Earth from possible life forms that may be returned from other solar system bodies.
