CLEVELAND — At NASA's Glenn Research Center, past all the spacecraft and rockets, you'll find Dionne Hernandez-Lugo working on power systems that will soon propel astronauts back to the Moon.“NASA was my dream. Growing up, I will see a shuttle launch on TV and I always wanted to come and work here,” said Hernandez-Lugo, the deputy flight system manager for the power propulsion element.
“So that allowed me to apply for the NASA fellowship, called the Harriet Jenkins Fellowship,” said Hernandez-Lugo. “My responsibility is to build the spacecraft that will provide power, high rate communication, attitude control, and orbital transfer,” said Hernandez-Lugo.“The Gateway is a small space station that will orbit around the moon and will allow crews to have more access to the lunar surface,” said Hernandez-Lugo.“I can't believe it, right? Because it was a dream. I didn't know how to get here. But thank God," she said.
