Ep 185: Mapping the Earth from Space - Dr. Valerie L. Thomas & her career at NASA

Episode 185 Published 1 year ago

Description

We love science projects & women in STEM! Today, we're talking about a winner, Dr. Valerie L. Thomas and her contributions to science while working at NASA. Dr. Thomas broke all the barriers to lead some incredible projects. One, the Landsat Satellite Program, starting in the 1970s is still in operation taking pictures today (We're at Landsat 9), and her work with mirrors and 3D images with her 'Illusion Transmitter' is a huge part of modern 3D imaging!
