Christina Hernández is a Mexican-American systems engineer at NASA. [1] She was involved in STEM programs, which led her to a career in NASA where she has worked on the Mars Perseverance Rover, along with being a micrometeoroid and orbital debris specialist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Quinn is an environmental engineer at NASA. [3] In the early years of space exploration, NASA used chlorinated solvents to degrease rocket engine parts. The solvents, dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLS), cause environmental contamination at government facilities. As they are heavier than water, they can sink into the ground and pollute ...
