Hispanic Heritage Month

Buenos días Spartans, for Hispanic Heritage Month today we are recognizing Elena Ochoa. Ochoa made her mark by becoming the first Hispanic American woman to go to space with a nine-day mission in 1993. Ochoa was born in 1958 in Los Angeles, years after her paternal grandparents immigrated from Mexico. Ochoa made history on board the space shuttle Discovery on a mission to study the Earth’s ozone layer. She later completed three more missions. Ochoa became the first Hispanic American director of the Johnson Space Center in 2013, only the second woman to take the helm.
