Dr. Rosalind Armytage is a research scientist in isotope geochemistry.

Her research interests are focused on using high precision isotopic measurements of solar system materials to understand the early history of the solar system and the terrestrial planets.

Ros enjoys talking about geology, rocks, and the intricacies of measuring isotope ratios to the sixth decimal place to anyone who will listen. 




Jordyn-Marie Dudley is a project manager and planetary geochemist supporting Mars Sample Return Curation.

She studies hydrogen in meteorites to understand the story of water in the solar system, and the effects of impacts in space on hydrogen recorded in minerals.

Jordyn-Marie enjoys creating and is an MBA candidate at Rice University.




Dr. Michelle Fraser-Page is the safety flight lead for the HTV cargo vehicle to the International Space Station and the safety integration lead for the new HTV-X cargo vehicle being developed by NASA’s international partner JAXA. 

She is responsible for integrating the various safety issues that affect the vehicle as well as verifying that the agreed-on requirements and tests have been satisfactorily completed. 

Michelle loves gaming and experimenting with life hacking and is introducing her son to the joys of science.




Angela Garcia is a geologist who works to support the development of future lunar surface science missions for the Artemis Program. 

She helps to facilitate and preform lunar dust testing by leveraging lunar regolith simulants in relevant environmental conditions. 

When not working, she loves hiking, camping, gardening, and ceramics. She also loves to volunteer and talk at outreach events to share her passion for exploration.




Dr. Joanna Clark is a geochemist with the Mars research group at NASA Johnson Space Center.

Her work is focused on understanding SAM (Sample Analysis on Mars) evolved gas data through laboratory analog experiments. She is a SAM team collaborator and a payload uplink lead (PUL) for the SAM instrument on the Curiosity rover. 

In her free time, Joanna enjoys playing with her three rescue dogs, Sorrell, Fennel, and Wadsworth.




Dr. Kathleen Vander Kaaden focuses on the nature and composition of planetary surfaces, the density of lunar and mercurian melts, the composition of planetary interiors and its relationship with the thermal and magmatic evolution of various planets. 

In addition to her research, Kathleen is passionate about education and public outreach and has a strong desire to engage the public in learning about the Solar System and our exploration of it.




Dr. Kristen John studies the surfaces of asteroids and small planetary bodies to understand the mechanical properties of meteorites and their parent bodies, works on mission/instrument concept development for robotic planetary exploration, and low-cost/small-sat development.

Kristen is now the mom of three amazing children!
