NASA engineer Jessica Samuels is the Mars mission manager leading the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover and is inspiring other women in STEM.
Since joining JPL in 2001, Samuels has worked on every Mars rover except for one.
In the early 1950s, women had a small presence at JPL but they played a big role known as human computers doing math for the first planetary explorations. "I think that's a testament to us supporting each other," Samuels said."Being able to show each other that we can have types of jobs that aren't just male dominated or male represented fields."
