Tess von Rueden is a junior at the University of Michigan (@uofmichigan) studying computer science. Tess is working in the Trajectory Branch in the Flight Dynamics Division at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. She works specifically on the Core Operations, Mission Planning, and Analysis Spacecraft Simulation Project (COMPASS), which allows users to create and execute a trajectory simulation of space vehicles (e.g., SLS, Orion) during ascent, entry, or orbit-related flight phases. Tess spends most of her time completing projects on the COMPASS tool suite as well as compiling training for future new hires onto the team. “What has stood out to me the most during my time at JSC are the interns and employees. They are some of the most passionate, intelligent, and enthusiastic people I have ever been around. It’s awesome to work toward a common goal while surrounded by your friends!” – Tess
