Sept. 15th-Oct. 15th is National Hispanic Heritage Month! On Tuesdays and Thursdays during this time period we will look at the lives of Hispanic Americans that made their mark in American and/or World History. Here is our next Honoree: Ellen Ochoa
Born in Los Angeles and raised in La Mesa, California, Ellen Ochoa, PhD, was the first Hispanic woman in space. After earning her doctorate in engineering from Stanford University, Ochoa joined NASA in 1988 as a research engineer and was selected to be an astronaut in 1990. Her first mission in space was aboard the shuttle Discovery in 1993. She went on to serve three more missions, spending almost 1,000 hours in orbit. Ochoa was the 11th director of the Johnson Space Center and the center’s first Hispanic director. Her historic firsts put her in great company with other pioneering Hispanic Americans.
