Dr. Alinda Mashiku | Aerospace Engineer

Alinda is the deputy program manager for the Conjunction Assessment and Risk Analysis (CARA) program at Goddard Space Flight Center. She is responsible for helping manage the team that is responsible for providing collision avoidance operational support to all NASA non-human spaceflight missions. Her team of operators at Goddard, along with a team of orbital safety analysts at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, coordinate with the NASA missions and inform them of any potential close approaches based on predicted data and other information. This also ensures that NASA maintains an active role in avoiding the proliferation of space debris caused by collisions or breakups and thus play a key role in keeping the space environment safe and continually available for operational use to perform the important scientific research and provide the services we need on Earth that affect our daily activities such as weather information, communications and navigation.
