Human Systems Integration at NASA | Jackelynne Silva-Martinez (JSC NASA)

In the frame of the Module Emerging Fields in Architecture (++), HB2, TU Wien

+

Human Systems Integration is part of the overall systems engineering and acquisition strategy for space systems. Jackelynne will discuss the HSI domains used at NASA and how it’s implemented in the Lunar Gateway Program.

++

The module Emerging Fields in Architecture imparts current knowledge from new research fields in architectural and engineering disciplines, with the aim of dealing with current and future design challenges in a broader social context in an interdisciplinary and fundamental way. The lectures impart knowledge about different and interdisciplinary approaches to design, current developments and results of material and construction research, about planning and building under/in extreme conditions as well as about structures that change or develop due to changing parameters.
In this context, strategies for design (from the initial idea to implementation) are questioned in an interdisciplinary discourse, and the question of how the path from idea to realisation can be shaped and to what extent it is possible to be systematically creative is explored. In the practical part, an independent cross-thematic examination is to be carried out.

Jackelynne Silva-Martinez was born in Cusco, Peru. She attended elementary school, middle school and part of high school in different regions within Peru, including Cusco, Arequipa, and Lima. She then moved to the United States and graduated from high school. Jackelynne earned two bachelor degrees from Rutgers University; one in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and a second one in Spanish Translation and Interpretation. Jackelynne obtained a Master's Degree in Aeronautical Science with concentration in Human Factors Aviation & Aerospace Systems from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University; and a second Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering with concentration in Space Human Systems Integration from Georgia Institute of Technology. Jackelynne is an alumna of the Space Studies Program from the International Space University. She received an honorary degree as Doctor of Science from the Universidad Nacional de Piura, Peru, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Leadership with focus on organizational management. She is certified in Lean Six Sigma, Engineering Management, and Agile Coaching.

Jackelynne works at NASA Johnson Space Center in the Human Health & Performance Directorate serving as the Lunar Gateway Program Human System Manager. In that role, her functions include Human Systems Engineering & Integration Lead, Human Systems Integration Lead, Human Systems Integration Working Group Chair, and Human in the Loop Test Readiness Review Lead. She previously worked within the Flight Operations Directorate for the International Space Station and Artemis Programs as Flight Controller and Systems Engineer executing mission planning and integration. She worked as a Mechanical Engineer and Test Operator at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the Robotic Manipulators and Deployable Booms group performing verification and validation ground tests for the Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity Rover mission. Prior to that, Jackelynne worked for Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company as Antennas Mechanical Design Engineer and then Systems Integration and Test Engineer for commercial and government satellite programs.

Jackelynne participated in several space analog missions including Human Exploration Research Analog at Johnson Space Center, and Mars Desert Research Analog in Utah. Jackelynne is the founder of the Centro de Ciencia, Liderazgo y Cultura, which brings topics of science, leadership, and culture to the young generation at an international level. She and her husband have a son and a daughter. She enjoys reading, traveling, dancing, and learning from different cultures. Her interests include human spaceflight, mission operations, space architecture, systems engineering, human systems integration, project management, innovation, STEM and STEAM initiatives. Jackelynne has been serving as lecturer on these topics at various universities, conferences, and professional organizations.
