00:00:09,780 --> 00:00:14,280
I'm Jeanne Lynch and I'm Chief of the Flight
Dynamics Division in the Mission Operations

2
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,280
Directorate.

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,520
The Flight Dynamics Division is responsible
for the trajectory of the International Space

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:26,030
Station so that includes the visiting vehicles
and how they fly to the ISS, as well as where

5
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:30,460
the ISS is located; basically the altitude
of how far it is from the Earth.

6
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:33,110
My grandmother’s grandmother was Cherokee.

7
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:37,450
We moved to Florida next to my grandmother
and my mother started getting more involved

8
00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:41,360
in the genealogy and our culture.

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,350
So when I was in high school and even in college
before I moved away, I participated in a number

10
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:51,329
of the local Pow-Wows and other Native American
Functions.

11
00:00:51,329 --> 00:00:55,980
When I started for NASA, I was actually a
new hire right out of college so I wasn't

12
00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:02,409
a Co-Op, but I did do my senior project when
I was in engineering school that was a NASA

13
00:01:02,409 --> 00:01:07,780
funded project through my university where
we essentially built a little kind of lunar

14
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:10,659
servicing station for a lunar lander.\h

15
00:01:10,659 --> 00:01:13,850
And it was amazing and a lot of fun.\h

16
00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:18,780
In any job you have, you need to give it your
all; you need to take personal responsibility

17
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:24,350
for the quality of your work, getting it done,
and really being passionate about what you

18
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:25,350
do.\h
