Ellen Stofan, Former NASA Chief Scientist, to Head National Air and Space Museum

By SOPAN DEBAPRIL 5, 2018

Dr. Ellen Stofan, the former chief scientist at NASA, will become the first woman to lead the National Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian Institution announced on Thursday.

At NASA, Dr. Stofan, who has a background in geology, was a top adviser to Charles F. Bolden Jr., then the administrator for the department, where she helped lead in the development of a long-term plan to get humans to Mars.

Space has been a part of Dr. Stofan’s life for almost its entirety. Her father was a NASA rocket scientist and at the age of 4 she attended her first rocket launch at Cape Canaveral, an event that spurred her own career.

“It is an incredible honor to join the National Air and Space Museum family at this important point in the museum’s history,” Dr. Stofan said. “Space and aviation inspire our next generation of explorers, and there is no better place to experience this than at our museums on the Mall and at the Udvar-Hazy Center.”
