Description | Tiffany Lockett is a Lead System Engineer for the Solar Sail for NEA Scout. Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) Scout mission is a reconnaissance mission in which a small spacecraft will be launched with the Orion capsule and sent to an asteroid. Tiffany coordinates all the technical and project elements of the Solar Sail. A unique capability of the Solar Sail is that it uses sunlight as a propellant which allows it to go from low earth orbit all the way to an asteroid. Once there, the mission will be to study the asteroid and asteroid retrieval, detection, and avoidance. Tiffany’s passions and education led her to degrees in Physics and Aerospace Engineering. She then went on to work at NASA Goddard which has a concentration in earth and planetary science. Now she is based at NASA Marshall where they specialize in rockets. In STEM related fields, you can do almost anything. Research and find out what your interests really are and follow that path. View Occupation STEM Collection |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
