NASA cygnus launch

All right, this one is super cool, not to mention a lot of fun to work on! The Cygnus spacecraft launched Oct. 17, embarking on its sixth cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) effort. Without Draper Technology, the spacecraft would not have been able to rendezvous with the ISS. 

As a member of Draper's Strategic Communication team, I worked on the launch and mission progress of the Cygnus aircraft. Through the drafting of press releases, I communicated the efforts of Draper guiding the ship to the International Space Station.
