00:00:11,911 --> 00:00:16,249
Hi, my name is Donya Douglas Bradshaw,
 and I'm the project manager

2
00:00:16,249 --> 00:00:20,754
for the Lucy Project, which will be
 the first mission to the Trojan asteroids.

3
00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:23,556
Building a spacecraft is quite exciting.

4
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:27,494
I worked many decades
 as a mechanical engineer,

5
00:00:27,494 --> 00:00:30,597
really focused on thermal
 and heat transfer.

6
00:00:30,597 --> 00:00:34,534
And so when you work in that capacity,
 you are supporting

7
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,637
the development of spacecraft
 as well as instruments.

8
00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:40,106
Hi, my name is Dr. 

9
00:00:40,106 --> 00:00:44,611
Carly Howett and I'm the instrument
 scientist of the MVIC camera on Lucy.

10
00:00:45,078 --> 00:00:48,782
I love working on Lucy
 for so many reasons, but one of them is

11
00:00:48,915 --> 00:00:52,719
being able to explore the universe
 from the comfort of my own office.

12
00:00:53,019 --> 00:00:57,223
So I don't have to don diving gear or,
 you know, go into these dangerous

13
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:58,725
or hard situations. 

14
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:01,828
I get to enjoy the data
 as it comes back from the comfort

15
00:01:01,828 --> 00:01:04,531
of my office and explore
 the universe that way.

16
00:01:05,031 --> 00:01:07,700
My name is Cory Prykull,
 and I am a mechanical operations

17
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,437
lead for the interplanetary
 spacecraft, Lucy.

18
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:14,374
My job is to plan and lead
 major mechanical operations

19
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:17,944
such as spacecraft
 transportations, spacecraft crane lifts,

20
00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:22,515
or testing of major spacecraft components
 and ensure they go off without a hitch.

21
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,253
My name is Mike Sekerak, I'm the deputy
 project system engineer for Lucy,

22
00:01:27,821 --> 00:01:29,355
the thing I like the most
 about project system 

23
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:32,258
engineering, is that you get to touch
 all aspects of the mission

24
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:37,030
from the spacecraft, payload, and launch
 vehicle ground system, flight dynamics

25
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:38,598
- project system engineers 

26
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,101
have oversight of all of those different
 aspects of the mission.

27
00:01:41,868 --> 00:01:43,069
I'm Tiffany Kapler. 

28
00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:47,207
I am a public outreach specialist
 with the Lucy Mission.

29
00:01:47,574 --> 00:01:52,612
And one of the things that I love about
 my job is that it gives me an opportunity

30
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:57,951
to use my creativity
 and share my enthusiasm for science

31
00:01:57,951 --> 00:02:02,021
with others while I get them excited
 about space exploration.

32
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:05,725
Hi, I'm Rick Berry,
 and I am the configuration management

33
00:02:05,725 --> 00:02:08,628
lead for the Lucy Mission
 at Goddard Space Flight Center.

34
00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:09,996
We're building spacecraft. 

35
00:02:09,996 --> 00:02:13,066
We're building payloads
 and instruments at Goddard.

36
00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:17,637
We coordinate with our team members
 to ensure that the configuration

37
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:22,642
management is correct by managing
 the changes and the requirements.

38
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:26,646
Hello, my name is Elizabeth McCall
 and I'm the project support specialist

39
00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:27,981
for the Lucy Project. 

40
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:32,085
One of the more memorable experiences
 I've had was just in July of this year,

41
00:02:32,352 --> 00:02:36,823
I was able to fly with the spacecraft
 from Colorado to Florida on a C17.

42
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:41,494
My name is Vince Elliott, and I'm the Lucy
 deputy project manager over resources.

43
00:02:42,128 --> 00:02:45,331
I lead a team of 12
 and they are exceptional at what they do.

44
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:48,868
It also means I get to work
 with some of the brightest engineers

45
00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:52,939
and scientists the world has ever known
 doing something that I love.

46
00:02:53,606 --> 00:02:54,674
Hi, my name is James Tralie, 

47
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:58,111
and I'm a producer and animator at NASA
 Goddard Space Flight Center.

48
00:02:58,411 --> 00:03:01,181
And I created the video series
 you're currently watching right now.

49
00:03:01,881 --> 00:03:05,785
I'm so excited to see Lucy launch,
 and I can't wait to share the complex

50
00:03:05,785 --> 00:03:08,855
and exciting discoveries
 that we make out there at the Trojans

51
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:10,590
to you, the public,
 through film and animation. 

52
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:13,092
Go, NASA, Go, Lucy!
