  • She will lead the center’s efforts in human spaceflight missions, the nation’s astronaut corps, International Space Station mission operations and the Orion Program.
  • “It is just an honor to know that I will have the opportunity to lead these efforts as we’re moving forward,” she told a Houston ABC affiliate.
