Joining us tonight for the Mission Concept Academy session 5 will be Dr. Cathy Olkin. Cathy is the Deputy Principal Investigator of the Lucy Mission. She has B.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), an M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. in Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science from MIT. She is currently a planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, CO. Her research focuses on the properties of small bodies in the outer-Solar System, focusing both on their surfaces and, if they have them, their atmospheres.  She is also Deputy Project Scientist for the New Horizon's mission that flew by Pluto in 2015 and is due to fly by a distant Kuiper Belt Object, a likely cousin to the Trojan Asteroids that Lucy will visit. She enjoys public outreach, giving numerous public talks including presenting for The Moth and at TEDxDetroit as wells as mentoring FIRST Robotics teams. 🚀☄️✨ * * * * #NASA #LSPACEAcademy #LucyMission…
