NASA Human Landing System Program Manager Dr. Lisa Watson-Morgan discusses NASA’s next-generation lunar exploration program, Artemis and HLS Programs, the challenges of space exploration, how the space industry has changed over the years, and how the benefits of more than 50 years of NASA’s work in space have helped humankind. Topics also include how today’s space community is more collaborative, diverse, and technically advanced than ever to send the first woman and next man to the Moon rapidly. With more than 30 years of contributions in the civilian space program, Dr. Lisa Morgan-Watson has proven her leadership expertise and subject matter strengths throughout her career at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville integrating complex, large space systems. A Huntsville, AL native, she was chosen as program manager of the Human Landing System program in July 2019 overseeing the planning and execution of integrated lunar landing systems that will transport the first woman and next man to the Moon in the next five years. With help from U.S. industry, Watson-Morgan’s team will support NASA’s Artemis Program, which will enable long-term visits to the Moon and facilitate the next steps to reaching Mars.
