Jana Schwartz Awarded National Reconnaissance Office Fellowship
Jana Schwartz has been awarded a 2008-2009 Technology Fellowship from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). During this one year assignment which begins July 1, she will work to develop a system for evaluating the synergistic operations of overhead sensors. She also will participate in the Technology Fellows Enrichment Program, gaining knowledge of government operations through tours of government facilities, prime contractor facilities, national laboratories, and visits with military customers. The NRO Tech Fellows Program supports the development of future technology leaders and aims to stimulate industry participation in the R&D areas critical to NRO and the intelligence community. This is the second year a Draper engineer has participated in the program, with Technical Staff Member Dorothy Poppe serving as a Fellow during 2007-2008. Poppe’s project involved the evaluation and analysis of specific satellite constellations.
