Donya Douglas-Bradshaw is the Deputy Director for Planning and Business Management for the Engineering and Technology Directorate (ETD) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). One of NASA's largest engineering organizations, ETD provides high performance and cost effective solutions to the most challenging problems on flight missions ranging from suborbital projects-including balloons, sounding rockets, and airplanes—to interplanetary probes and flagship observatories. In her role as the Deputy for Planning and Business Management, Ms. Douglas-Bradshaw is responsible for the formulation and execution of ETD’s budget, as well as the guidance and oversight of strategic planning and policy development activities for human capital management, facilities, IT and other assessments, and education and outreach.

Since joining NASA in 1991 as a thermal engineer, Ms. Douglas-Bradshaw has worked at multiple NASA centers including, Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility, and Headquarters in various roles such as project manager, principal investigator and manager of technology developments achieving breakthrough innovations, systems engineer of large multi-disciplinary teams, and technical line manager for senior engineers and instrument managers. Prior to her current position, Ms. Douglas-Bradshaw served as the Project Manager for the ~1$Bil Lucy mission, which is the first mission to the Jupiter trojan asteroids. Lucy launched out Cape Canaveral, Florida on October 16, 2021. Prior to Lucy, she was the Project Manager for the ICESat-2 ATLAS instrument. At $0.5Bil and the size of a Smart car, ATLAS is the largest and most technologically advanced instrument built in-house at Goddard. ATLAS successfully launched aboard the ICESat-2 spacecraft on September 15, 2018.

Throughout her career Ms. Douglas-Bradshaw has authored or co-authored over 20 publications in research and development on Capillary Pumped Loops, Loop Heat Pipes, and Variable Emittance Coatings. She has received numerous Agency awards in recognition for distinguished achievement and outstanding leadership and has been featured in national magazines such as Upscale Magazine and Black Enterprise. She was also listed as one of THEGRIO.COM Top 100 History Makers in the Making.

Ms. Douglas-Bradshaw earned a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland.

Matt Garrison is the payload systems engineer for the DAVINCI mission and chief engineer of the Planetary Science Projects Division. He graduated from Penn State with a BS and MS in aerospace engineering in 2005 and has worked at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center ever since. He worked in the Thermal Engineering Branch for a decade on projects including the James Webb Space Telescope, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System. He has since moved to the Instrument Systems branch to work on the L’Ralph instrument, which is part of the Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids that launched in October 2021.

Devin Poland began working on Lucy as a systems engineer in the winter of 2019 and later transitioned to the Mission Operations Manager in a full-time role after the spacecraft launched in October of 2021. In the period between he served both as a systems engineer and as the MOM, sitting shift for environmental testing and leading the operations team in Launch and Early Orbit (L&EO) preparation activities. Prior (and sometimes in parallel) to Lucy Devin served as the Flight Operations Manager for OSIRIS-REx for all Bennu proximity operations phases leading up to and including TAG. In his free time Devin enjoys hiking and coaching a youth soccer team near the neighborhood where he grew up.
