Since joining NASA in 2017 as a contractor that supports the International Space Station, Caroline Kaothon has played many roles that support operations in the actual time as a certified aviation observer, team bullets, and leading systems engineer.

Now, it supports America’s future in orbit as the Command of Systems Engineering and Integration of the Technical Authority of the NASA low orbit development program. Cawthon supports chief engineers office in the program. In this position, it plays a major role in overseeing the requirements and operations of the partner in the first stage as part of the two -stage approach to the program to support the development of commercial space stations.
I grew up in military societies and people, Kathon was fascinated by flying and space since his childhood and looking forward to becoming a pilot and a combat engineer. She met an astronaut first while attending the space camp at the Euro Space Center in Belgium, which sparked her interest in lighting human space and consolidating its goals to work in NASA, affecting, and being part of the manufacture of history. She later obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, materials and a master’s degree in aviation and space systems.
Kathon describes the best part of her day as the people you are working with, and her enthusiastic team and scheduled for the task reminds her that the task that works towards her will make a difference in the future of human light.
“Between the program, the engineering team, our industry partners, there are thousands of years of experience with Human Spaceflight, which I can benefit from every day to learn and grow in a periodic and help NASA to accomplish our mission,” Cawthon participated.
The latest example of this collective work based on the task is to develop the technical standards assessment document. As a leadership of this task, Cawthon was proud of how hard work gathered for everyone.
The largest lesson Kaothon learned while working with NASA is to continue to identify curiosity, learning, and develop in person and professionalism.
“People are one of the largest engineering, science and space networks in the world and the lack of benefit from this experience in the guidance will be a waste,” Kathon said.
Outside of work, Koouth has the time of outdoors with her husband and daughter. She and her family also love to be on the road, explore new places and meet new people. They enjoy international travel and small weekend adventures like a local zoo and aquarium.
