DID YOU KNOW? for August 16 - 29, 2022:  

Diana Trujillo Pomerantz is a Colombian-born (January 1980) aerospace engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She leads the engineering team at JPL Rover. On February 18, 2021 Trujillo hosted the first ever Spanish-language NASA transmission of a planetary landing for the Perseverance rover landing on Mars.

Trujillo moved to the US when she was just 17 years old, with only $300 in her pocket. In order to improve her language skills she started English lessons at the Miami-Dade College while working as a maid, among other jobs. She eventually enrolled at the University of Florida to pursue studies in Aerospace Engineering. While at the University, Trujillo decided to apply for the NASA Academy, being the first Hispanic immigrant woman admitted to the program.
