Carrie cohoy is a systems engineer studying satellites. She's interested in looking at star systems and seeing if there are planets around them. The technology youd need to do that very effectively for earthlike planets would be on board the satellite.
How do satellites work? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore CubeSats, space lasers, and the ecology of low Earth orbit with VP of Raytheon, Sandy Brown, and associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics, Kerri Cahoy.
