Hi, my name is Cassie Rodriquez.

2
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:26,250
I grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, which
is a bit south here of Houston, so a great

3
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,250
city.

4
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:29,039
It's where the Texas State Aquarium is (laughter).

5
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:30,739
Being an “OSO”.

6
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:33,280
It’s a console position in Mission Control.

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,120
It stands for Operations Support Officer and
we're responsible for all the IVA maintenance

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,040
that's done for the Space Station.

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:50,620
Robonaut is fun -- he's on orbit, he was launched
in September of 2011 and what my project is,

10
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:56,710
is we're working on developing the training
products and the procedures to give him some

11
00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:57,989
legs.

12
00:00:57,989 --> 00:01:02,710
With these legs, he'll have the ability to
move anywhere on station.

13
00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:07,920
I hope to continue supporting the International
Space Station hopefully supporting future

14
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:15,950
projects that help human exploration, hopefully
getting us to the Moon or to Mars and helping

15
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:19,360
design those vehicles so that they can be
better maintained.

16
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,450
I have a lot of maintenance practice working
with the Space Station and we're going to
