Thank you, Click here to view the SPARK UPDATE Joint ASM Meeting – Thursday, September 20th, 2018 Michelle Fitzgerald is a flight controller and instructor at Johnson Space Center with over 15 years’ experience certifying flight controllers and astronauts in the International Space Station (ISS) Mechanisms and Maintenance. She has supported the assembly and operations of ISS over numerous expeditions, shuttle flights, and visiting vehicles. Michelle earned a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan and loves Star Wars, reading, and Girl Scouts, and helping to keep the Space Station flying. Maintaining a home and lab are challenging; when it’s also an orbiting platform you need to get creative! Imagine doing a home improvement project without access to Home Depot. Keeping a space station flying sometimes requires inventive tricks and fixes using the materials available; a flight controller responsible for maintenance and mechanisms from Houston’s Mission Control presents some of the more interesting ways the crew has maintained habitability and functionality aboard the ISS.
