๐ข SPEAKER ALERT!
Weโre thrilled to announce Makiah Eustice as a speaker for this yearโs Spring Conference ๐
Makiah Eustice is an engineer and officer in the U.S. Air Force driven by a deep passion for human spaceflight. Her astronaut dreams have shaped an unconventional path: one that includes three space analog missions, a parabolic research flight, space outreach, and even designing for a space-inspired fashion show. She has served as a flight test engineer planning and executing aircraft modification tests on platforms like the C-130 Hercules, and now works as a program integrator supporting space contract surveillance.
