At 16, she took a physics class and the rest is history.  She studied Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at&nbsp;Cornell University, before completing her master&#8217;s degree and Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics at&nbsp;MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She narrated the landing, explaining: &#8220;Perseverance will be the first mission to use Terrain-Relative Navigation. While it\u2019s descending on the parachute, it will actually be taking images of the surface of Mars and determining where to go based on what it sees. This is finally like landing with your eyes open \u2014 having this new technology really allows Perseverance to land in much more challenging terrain than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Curiosity_(rover)\">Curiosity<\/a>, or any previous Mars mission, could.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearty congratulations are due to Dr. Mohan!  What an inspiration to females everywhere.  I look forward to seeing more women engineers stepping up in the world.  <em>You go girl!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"27\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/banner2-768x27-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/banner2-768x27-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/banner2-768x27-1-300x11.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/american-airlines-pilot-reports-seeing-long-cylindrical-object-fly-over-n1258831\" target=\"_blank\">American Airlines confirmed a pilot&#8217;s report of  his plane&#8217;s encounter <\/a>with a cylindrical object while flying over New Mexico earlier this week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-align=\"center\" data-card-theme=\"light\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lqbJgD3L2CE\">American Airlines Pilot Reports Seeing UFO<\/a><\/h4><p>Unidentified_flying_object #American_Airlines An American Airlines pilot reported seeing a &#8220;long cylindrical object&#8221; flying &#8220;right over the top&#8221; of the plane he was flying&#8230; Sunday&#8217;s American Airlines flight AA2292 was operating from Cincinnati to Phoenix using an Airbus A320 aircraft.<\/p><\/blockquote><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UFO or cruise missile ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"27\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/banner2-768x27-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/banner2-768x27-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/banner2-768x27-1-300x11.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div><p align=center><font color=\"#FF0000\">Thank you <font color=\"#FF6347\">for reading <font color=\"#FFA500\">today's post. \r\n<font color=\"#FFD700\">Have <font color=\"00FF00\">an <font color=\"40E0D0\">InterStellar <font color=\"800080\">Day! <font color=\"FE09FF\"> ~PrP   <\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We owe the Perseverance landing to Dr. Swati Mohan.
