SpaceX engineer Anna Menon will be among the crew of a unique space mission announced on Monday by U.S. billionaire Jared Isaacman, who had commanded a human spaceflight mission last year.
Ms. Menon is a Lead Space Operations Engineer at SpaceX, where she manages the development of crew operations and serves in mission control as both a Mission Director and crew communicator, a SpaceX release said.
Mr. Isaacman, the founder and CEO of American payment processing company Shift4, who had commanded the Inspiration4 mission, announced the Polaris Programme, “a first-of-its-kind effort to rapidly advance human spaceflight capabilities, while continuing to raise funds and awareness for important causes here on Earth.”
