 Sabrina Singh is currently working in NASA as a Astronaut Trainer . She studied mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. She also studied biomedical engineering for a master's degree from Emory University and Georgia Tech. Sabrina Singh train astronauts on the spacesuit that they wear during spacewalks. The spacesuit has to keep the astronauts alive when they are outside the space shuttle and the space station. Astronauts do a spacewalk from a room called the airlock, so She also train the astronauts on how the airlock works, how to use the equipment/hardware in the airlock, and what to do in case of an emergency. Before the spacewalk, the astronauts need to make sure that they have a fully functioning suit that provides oxygen, water and cooling. During a spacewalk, we have a team that sits in Mission Control and watches the astronauts perform tasks that build the International Space Station. NASA is phenomenal with involving students in state-of-the-art assignments and giving projects that are critical to mission success. Her co-op projects have included:
--Designing refrigeration system for cell cultures. --Researching, testing and certifying MP3 players for astronauts to use during spaceflight. --Certifying in the Fire Detection and Suppression class that I taught to astronauts and flight directors. --Developing flight procedures and products that were used for the astronauts flying on STS-110. --Developing tests and operational procedures for tile repair techniques as part of the post-Columbia and Return to Flight efforts. |
