On Tuesday, November 15 at 7:00 p.m. in the Assembly Hall of the Higher Technical School of Engineering of Seville (ETSi), a conference table titled: “NASA project leaders will talk about the present and future of space” ”.
This conference is included within the ARCyTAN Scientific-Technological Stimulation Program of the ETSi.
In this round table we will talk about the present and future of space with Dr. Javier Gómez Elvira (CAB), leader of the NASA REMS project on Mars and Dr. Elisabeth Córdoba (JPL), head of systems for the Mars 2020 Rover of the POT. prior registration is required to attend .
We will talk about the present and future of space with researchers Dr. Javier Gómez-Elvira and Dra. Elisabeth Córdoba
Dr. Javier Gómez-Elvira
Director of the Department of Payloads and Space Sciences at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology of Spain and former director of the Astrobiology Center (CSIC-INTA) .
Javier Gómez-Elvira 's professional career is fundamentally linked to the world of space.
He has participated in the development of antennas, mechanisms and instruments for communications satellites and in aeronautical projects related to certification. Already at the CAB, he has led the design of prototypes for the exploration of the Tinto River and the development of instruments for space exploration.
Since 2008 he is the Principal Investigator of the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS). This instrument, the first entirely developed and built in Spain to travel to another planet, is an environmental station that was aboard NASA's Curiosity rover, which was sent to Mars at the end of 2011.
REMS is Curiosity's environmental station, a small meteorological station with pressure, humidity, wind, temperature and ultraviolet radiation sensors and, since August 2012, it has been operated by the CAB at the INTA campus facilities. In these ten years of uninterrupted operation, its data is allowing us to understand and interpret the Martian environment at this specific point on Mars.
Dr. Elizabeth Córdoba
Deputy Manager of the Flight Systems Engineering, Integration and Test Section and Supervisor of the Main Payload Systems Engineering Group at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory .
Elizabeth Córdoba was the lead payload systems engineer for all seven instruments on the Mars 2020 rover, from preliminary design review to delivery. His responsibilities spanned all systems engineering disciplines (requirements development and flow, interface definition, business studies, risk identification, V&V planning and execution, etc.) as well as team management (cost, schedule, planning of tasks and team development). Additionally, Elizabeth was responsible for leading multidisciplinary teams at JPL and with five different national and international organizations as part of instrument development, to solve technical problems in all aspects of systems engineering design: mechanical, electrical, wiring, power, software, operations, etc.
