Carolina Rudisel sonríe alegremente mientras mira a la cámara. Lleva una chaqueta amarilla y una blusa negra, combinadas con un collar largo con los colores del arcoíris y unos pendientes en forma de flor, y su pelo castaño ondulado enmarca su cara. Está al aire libre y a sus espaldas se ven frondosos árboles verdes y pasto.

“Nunca me hubiera imaginado que estaría aquí en la NASA. Soy inmigrante. Originalmente era ciudadana mexicana. De hecho, nací en México, pero mis padres vinieron a Estados Unidos [y obtuve mi tarjeta de residencia] cuando tenía dos años de edad. … Mis padres llegaron con una visa de trabajo, por lo que éramos trabajadores migrantes [cuando yo] crecía.

“… Fue una crianza difícil, así que sabía lo que me deparaba la vida si me quedaba en [mi] pueblito. Sabía que me quedaría estancada, ya que incluso ahora, mirando hacia atrás, algunas de las personas que conocí todavía están estancadas. Entonces, decidí que ingresaría al ejército porque sabía que necesitaba hacer un cambio radical. Y así fue como ingresé al ejército, y mi vida dio un giro completo. … Allí fue donde conocí a mi marido. Hemos estado juntos por 32 años y casados por 29 años.

“… [Antes de ingresar] al ejército… estaba en el lado equivocado de la ley. Estaba literalmente de pie frente a un juez que tenía mi destino en sus manos. … Mi reclutador estaba en mi audiencia, así que hicimos un trato con el fiscal y me dejaron ir con una multa. Pero mi vida pudo haber sido completamente diferente. Así que sabía que un cambio radical era absolutamente necesario para mi vida.

“… Avanzando unos años: Ingresé al ejército, salí y terminé pasando la mayor parte del tiempo en el extranjero. Viví en Japón; de hecho, nuestros dos hijos nacieron en Japón. Vivimos en Japón, Rusia, Sri Lanka, Bélgica y nuestro último puesto fue en Londres.

“… Trabajaba para la Oficina del Agregado de Defensa, y mi compañera de trabajo estaba en la Marina y me dijo: ‘¡Hay un trabajo en la NASA en el norte de California! Eres de California, ¿verdad?… Deberías postularte’. Y [pensé]: ‘De ninguna manera es posible’. Sabes, soy una persona de negocios, mi experiencia está en los negocios. Era analista de presupuesto financiero. Y entonces, pensaba: ‘De ninguna manera’. Ella [dijo]: ‘Deberías postularte. ¡Postúlate, postúlate! Lo peor que podrían decirte es que no’. Y yo pensé: ‘¿Sabes qué? Tienes razón’. Me postulé, llegué a la NASA [y] de hecho comencé aquí como secretaria del director del centro.

“… Intento decirle a la gente que no se trata de desde dónde se empieza, ni de los errores que se hayan cometido. Es lo que haces con ellos. Y puedes cambiar no solo por ti misma, sino [también] para que otros puedan verte cambiar y [sepan] que todo es posible”.

      North Carolina Volunteers Work Toward Cleaner Well Water

      North Carolina Volunteers Work Toward Cleaner Well Water
      Road closure due to flooding. Volunteers helped NASA scientists predict where floods like these will contaminate well water. Image credit: Kelsey Pieper When the ground floods during a storm, floodwaters wash bacteria and other contaminants into private wells. But thanks to citizen scientists in North Carolina, we now know a bit more about how to deal with this problem. A new NASA-Funded study describes the contributions of these volunteers and how their work makes other disaster data more useful. 
      After Hurricane Florence, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services distributed sampling bottles to 754 private well users upon request.  They asked these volunteers to collect samples at their wellheads or outdoor taps. As expected, the rates of fecal contamination measured with help from the volunteers were almost 8 times higher than during routine conditions. 
      The new study compares the water quality measurements made by volunteers to predictions from various kinds of flood boundary maps made using data from NASA’s Landsat, Sentinel, and MODIS satellites. Turns out, the flood boundary maps are pretty good predictors—under certain conditions. Now we know how to better use them for this purpose in the future, thanks to help from citizen scientists!
      Contact your local health department and tell them you are interested in testing your own well water supply!

      NASA Astronauts to Speak with North Carolina, Virginia Students
      By NASA
      (Nov. 3, 2023) NASA astronauts and Expedition 70 Flight Engineers Loral O’Hara, left, and Jasmin Moghbeli, right, work on a spacesuit aboard the International Space Station’s Quest airlock. NASA Students from North Carolina and Virginia will have separate opportunities next week to each hear from a NASA astronaut living and working aboard the International Space Station.
      The two Earth-to-space calls will air live Tuesday, Jan. 9, on NASA+, NASA Television, and the agency’s website. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms including social media. Follow events online at: https://www.nasa.gov/nasatv.
      At 9:20 a.m. EST, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli will answer prerecorded questions from students at Thales Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina. In preparation for the education downlink, students will participate in an annual Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Day that will include presentations about the space station by Marc Fusco, one of NASA’s solar system ambassadors. Students also will participate in hands-on activities, including making space related art, building bottle rockets, and launching a model rocket.
      Media interested in covering the North Carolina event RSVP no later than 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8., should contact Janice Holton at: janice.holton@thalesacademy.org or 919-882-2320.
      At 1:05 p.m., NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara will answer prerecorded questions from students across the state of Virginia through an event hosted by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium. These students studied life aboard the space station and participated in a Plant the Moon Challenge where they worked to grow plants in lunar regolith simulant for the Artemis mission.
      Media interested in covering the Virginia event must RSVP no later than 4 p.m. on Jan. 8., to Kristyn Damadeo at: kdamadeo@odu.edu or 202-465-5190.
      For more than 23 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts living in space aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Near Space Network.
      Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the International Space Station benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future exploration.
      As part of Artemis, NASA will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers – the Artemis Generation – ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.
