The 98-meter (322-foot) Space Launch System rocket is the most powerful ever built by NASA.
Nathalie Quintero is an aerospace engineer who has been working on Nasa’s Artemis project for seven years and who will do the great test launch of the Space Launch System rocket this Monday.
Quintero, through his Instagram account, has published the work done by the team over the years, leaving positive and ambitious messages about the power of Latinos to achieve great things, especially women.
Nathalie was born in Caracas, where she spent much of her life. Her mother is an industrial engineer from El Salvador and her father is a retired naval pilot. Since she was little, she had a connection with space issues and her parents encouraged her.
“At 28 years old, she is the Venezuelan footprint of the Artemis program, which aims to lead the first woman to set foot on our satellite and much further, contributing to the new era of space flight,” reviews Historias que laten, where they highlight her career at NASA.
A few hours before the test to be carried out at Nasa’s Kenendy Space Center, the young woman born in Caracas did not contain her emotion and began a countdown on her Instagram account, in which she shares the progress of the mission and explains what happens
The 98-meter (322-foot) Space Launch System rocket is the most powerful ever built by NASA. It is about to send an empty capsule into lunar orbit, half a century after NASA’s Apollo program, which brought 12 astronauts to the Moon.
Astronauts could return to the Moon in a few years, if this six-week test flight goes well. However, NASA acknowledges that the risks are high and that the flight could be interrupted.
Instead of astronauts, three test dummies are strapped into the Orion capsule to measure vibration, acceleration and radiation, one of the biggest dangers to humans in deep space. The capsule alone has more than 1,000 sensors.
