The story of Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman in space


Hispanic American Month Profile: Dr. Ellen Ochoa


Ellen Ochoa, First Hispanic Director Of Johnson Space Center, Retires
Alvaro 'Al' Ortiz | Posted OnMay 25, 2018, 11:47 AM (Last Updated: May 25, 2018, 12:04 PM)

Her tenure has made the JSC more adaptive and has included an increase of diversity in the workforce, as well as involvement in missions to the International Space Station

Veteran astronaut Ellen Ochoa is retiring on Friday as director of NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) after a five year tenure that has included improvements in how the JSC works in more adaptive ways, an increase of diversity in the workforce and involvement in missions to the International Space Station.

Ochoa joined NASA in 1988 as a research engineer at Ames Research Center and moved to the JSC in 1990 when she was selected as an astronaut.

She became the first Hispanic woman to go to space when she served on the nine-day STS-56 mission aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 1993.

Ochoa started as JSC director in January 2013, becoming the center's first Hispanic director and its second female director. She helped maximize use of the International Space Station and develop the Orion spacecraft for future missions.

Ochoa also emphasized the importance of the JSC workforce including initiatives on diversity and inclusion.

Under her leadership, the JSC started the so-called JSC 2.0, with the goal of advancing human space flight by being lean, agile, and adaptive to change.

JSC 2.0 resulted in the Class 1-E Certification Process, which allows employees to move very quickly through the flight certification process and deliver custom-built hardware only 10 months after receiving project approval.

This process has allowed astronauts to benefit from hardware flown to the space station within months instead of years.

The first one-year mission on the International Space Station of Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko was completed in March 2016. The mission provided valuable information for future human space exploration.

Additionally, with support from the JSC, Space Center Houston opened Independence Plaza in January 2016, showcasing the original Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, NASA 905, carrying the space shuttle replica Independence.

Veteran NASA engineer Mark Geyer will replace Ochoa.

Being an astronaut is cool, but being an astronaut AND an inventor is even cooler! Astronauts Ellen Ochoa and Charles Conrad both have patents for space-related inventions! #NationalAstronautDay

#ASEspotlight: Ellen Ochoa 💫
ASE Life Member @Astro_Ellen pointed a 70mm @Hasselblad camera through a window of Space Shuttle Discovery to record an ocean scene during the STS-56 mission in April 1993.
Fun fact: She's a co-inventor on 3 patents!
Happy 65th birthday, Ellen! 🎉

Ellen Ochos playing the flute


Ellen Ochoa, Ph.D., smashed through the glass ceiling while orbiting Earth as the first Latina astronaut.

She has flown in space four times, logging nearly 1,000 hours. After her time in space, she continued blazing trails, becoming the second woman and first Latina director of the Johnson Space Center.

She continues her outreach through speaking and bilingual children’s books. She is honored to have seven schools named for her and, earlier this year, was added as a character in the Minecraft Educational Suite.

Veteran Astronaut Ellen Ochoa Reflects on Her Career Among the Stars

No one can say Dr. Ellen Ochoa hasn’t earned retirement. Before she became the eleventh—and first Hispanic—director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Ochoa worked her way up the intergalactic ladder as a research engineer before, in 1993, becoming the first Hispanic woman to fly into space. Across four trips, she logged nearly 1,000 hours in orbit, and has since earned not just NASA’s highest award, the Distinguished Service Medal, but also the distinction of having six different schools christened with her name. Ochoa served as director since 2012, and before that operated as the center’s Deputy Center Director and Director of Flight Crew Operations.
