Each week of Down to Earth features a special online live event: Mission Control Live! These fun, interactive sessions are your chance to meet real experts and learn what it’s like to work in space science. Bring your questions and get ready to be inspired. Dr. Julia Badger headed up the team that built Robonaut—a humanoid robot that helps humans explore space—for the ISS. Now, she’s the Autonomy and Vehicle Systems Manager (VSM) system manager for the Gateway program at NASA-Johnson Space Center, working to put our first space station in orbit around the Moon. How can robots make life better for humans everywhere in the Universe? This event is part of the #LightsOnAfterschool celebration!
