NASA Flight Modulation & Simulation with Jessica S. Friz
Jessica Friz is an aerospace engineer in the Simulation Development and Analysis Branch at NASA Langley Research Center. She develops low- to high-fidelity aircraft and spacecraft simulations, with an emphasis on modeling dynamic on-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (OSAM) systems. Her latest achievements include the development of models for metrology systems for OSAM operations, the Lightweight Surface Manipulation System (LSMS) for payload off-loading on planetary surfaces, and conserving angular momentum for multi-body systems on-orbit. While earning her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Rowan University and her M.E. in Aerospace Engineering at Old Dominion University, Jessica gained diverse engineering experience interning with several organizations at Langley. Her previous duties included analyzing mission architectures for conceptual human and robotic missions to Mars and Venus, managing facility construction and maintenance on center, and promoting sustainable engineering practices by restoring a 9400 square foot green roof. In her free time, she works with fellow employees to promote diversity and inclusion at NASA for minority groups and volunteers regularly for educational outreach opportunities in her local community.
