On this International Women’s Day, we’d like to introduce and celebrate the women on our team. As Artemis is NASA’s pathway to send women to the moon, we are proud that our team is comprised of 33.33% women, beating the statistic of only 27% women making up the STEM workforce. We would like to wish a Happy International Women’s Day to all of the women out there! Stay healthy, and Go Blue!
