Hello. I'm Rodolfo (Rudolph in Spanish) and I work in the Aeroscience and Flight Mechanics Division at NASA-JSC. My branch creates Flight Control Systems which allow space vehicles to fly like they are intended to. I've been lucky to work on various projects, and currently I support the Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) which will serve as the Future Space Station lifeboat. I also work on a miniature camera (called AERCam) that will be able to provide Space Station astronauts an extra set of eyes to inspect the exterior of the Station.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. I also hold a Masters of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I specialized in Space Flight Applications and Control Systems. As a college student, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to intern at NASA, were I experience various areas here at JSC, ranging from astronaut training, to mission operations, to what I do now.
