In celebration of National Black History Month, a panel of five outstanding African-American engineers and scientists at NASA’s Langley Research Center will answer students’ questions about their paths to NASA and their contributions to the projects and missions they work on. Meet Erica Alston, a research scientist; Monica Barnes, an electronics engineer; Samuel James, a mechanical engineering technician; Luther Jenkins, an aerospace research engineer; and Byron Meadows, a laser systems engineer.
