Advanced degree desirable. Vision minimum 20/50 uncorrected, correctable to 20/20 vision; maximum sitting blood pressure 140/90. Danny Olivas. His research included the development of tools and methodologies for nondestructively evaluating microelectronics and structural materials subjected to space environments. PERSONAL DATA: Born in North Hollywood, California and raised in El Paso, Texas. Height between 163 and 193 cm. Upon completing his doctorate, in the Spring of 1996, he moved to Los Angeles, California, to join an aerospace materials consulting firm. It still humbles me. While at the orbital outpost, the STS-128 crew rotated an expedition crewmember, attached the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), and transferred over 18,000 pounds of supplies and equipment to the station. This NASA sponsored research effort included scientific investigations aimed at evaluating the reliability and susceptibility of state-of-the-art microelectronics for use in future NASA projects. Image credit: NASA We, all the Mission Specialists on STS-117, we’re all robotically trained, and we all participate in robotics activities. American engineer mission specialist astronaut 1998-2010. Born in North Hollywood, California, raised in El Paso, Texas, received a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the NASA selected Olivas as an astronaut candidate in 1998. Through his career, he has authored and presented numerous papers at technical conferences and in scientific journals and is principal developer of seven inventions. The shuttle delivered NASA long-term ISS crew member Clayton Anderson to the station; and returned Suni Williams to earth. He says he remembers watching his father take apart machines and put them back together. Olivas also served as an astronaut on two space shuttle missions, STS 117 and STS 128.
John Daniel "Danny" Olivas is a former NASA astronaut. NAME: JohnD.Olivas (Ph.D., P.E.) The situation aboard space shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station improved greatly today following repair of a protruding thermal blanket, restoring power to problematic Russian navigation computers, and completing retraction of a finicky solar array. Nation: USA. Grew up in El Paso, Texas.. Image to left: STS-117 Mission Specialist Danny Olivas particiaptes in a spacewalk training session at JSC's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas. worked at NASA for 12 years on many technical projects (on land, in the air, at sea and in space). Upon completing his doctorate, he received a senior research engineer position at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and worked in the development of tools and methodologies for nondestructively evaluating microelectronics and structural materials subjected to space environments. Olivas spent the first two hours stapling down loose re-entry thermal insulation on Atlantis' orbital maneuvering system pod. In the Fall, Olivas was offered a senior research engineer position at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Quality Assurance Section, in Pasadena, California. John Daniel "Danny" Olivas (born May 25, 1965 in North Hollywood, California) is an American engineer and a former NASA astronaut. The group was selected to provide pilot, engineer, and scientist astronauts for space shuttle flights.. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. As a kid, Danny was very mechanically inclined, due to his father's high skill of mechanical engineering. Shortly after, he was promoted to Program Element Manager of the JPL Advanced Interconnect and Manufacturing Assurance Program. Height between 150 and 193 cm.. Of 25 Americans, eight pilots and 17 mission specialists.The shuttle delivered the S3 and S4 truss segments to the starboard side of the International Space Station. Throughout his career, he has authored and presented numerous papers at technical conferences and in scientific journals.STS-128 Discovery (August 28 to September 11, 2009) was the 128th Shuttle mission and the 30th mission to the International Space Station. The crew made three spacewalks to install these truss segments, conduct other station reconfiguration and installation work, deploy the solar arrays and prepare them for operation. Mission Specialists: Bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science or mathematics and minimum three years of related experience or an advanced degree. Olivas has flown on two space shuttle missions, STS-117 and STS-128. The book also features stunning NASA photos, fun facts, famous firsts and quizzes to inspire kids in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
