Women in space: Female engineers at the forefront of space exploration
Read more
You could be forgiven for assuming that the space industry is almost entirely male dominated because in the very early days of space exploration, that was mostly true. However, as early as 1963, Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first of many women in space as part of the Vostok 6 mission. Exactly two decades later, in 1983, Sally Ride flew aboard the Space Shuttle STS-7, becoming the first American female in space. In fact, women have been very active in space missions since the turn of the century with a total of 65 women having flown in space (as of March 2021). Marie-Pierre Ducharme, Mouser Electronics investigates.

Since vehicles are built from many subsystems, they require full interoperability between components. Autonomous vehicle designs must last for years, and their systems need to anticipate future challenges, including security and safety requirements. Together, these hurdles make connectivity a key challenge, requirement and risk point.
