Two years later, she made history on board the Space Shuttle Discovery on a mission to study the Earth’s ozone layer. Ellen Ochoa was the first Hispanic American woman to participated this nine-day space mission. She later completed three more missions.
In 2013 Ochoa became the first Hispanic American director of the Johnson Space Center. She was the second woman to take this position in the history of the program. Ochoa retired with 30 years of service and continues to be an advocate for women in the area of S.T.E.M.
