  User:Marine 69-71/Puerto Ricans in NASA From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Puerto Ricans have made contributions to the fields of education and science. There are many Puerto Rican scientists involved in the American Space Program, also known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Dr. Nitza Margarita CintronOn May 6, 2004, Joseph M. Acaba became the first Puerto Rican to become an astronaut candidate and on February 10, 2006 the first to complete said training.[1] Dr. Nitza Margarita Cintron was named Chief of NASA's Johnson Space Center Space Medicine and Health Care Systems Office in 2004.[2] Dr. Felix Soto Toro is the scientist who developed an electronic 3D measuring system (APTMS) for the Space Shuttle. [3] He also joined fellow Puerto Ricans Dr. Enectalí Figueroa and Henry Bursian Berríos as an astronaut applicant. According to an article written by Margarita Santori Lopez for the official newspaper of the University of Puerto Rico's Mayaguez Campus, "Prensa RUM", as of 2003, of the 114 Hispanics working at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, 70 were Puerto Ricans or of Puerto Rican descent.

Cruz Aerospace Engineer, Aero Space Technologist "Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Parachute" Dr. Cruz is a senior aerospace engineer in the Exploration Systems Engineering Branch at the NASA Langley Research Center. His responsibilities are focused on research and development of entry, descent, and landing (EDL) systems for robotic and human exploration missions. He was a member of the highly successful Mars Exploration Rover (MER) project that placed two rovers on the surface of Mars in 2004. His contributions to the MER project were centered on the design and qualification of the supersonic parachute. Dr. Cruz is also a member of the Phoenix (Mars 2007), Mars Science Laboratory (Mars 2009), and Crew Exploration Vehicle EDL teams. He has undertaken research on advanced missions to Mars, including robotic airplanes, as well as having been a technical reviewer for the Genesis, Huygens, and Stardust missions. Prior to his involvement with exploration programs he conducted research on high-altitude unmanned aircraft. Dr. Cruz holds a Ph.D. from Virginia Tech, and an S.B. from MIT, both in aerospace engineering. During his years at MIT he was involved with the Monarch and Daedalus human powered airplane teams.[8] NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia [edit] Lydia Del Rio Analyst "Research and Program Management and Center Full Cost Program Analyst."
