As the commercial space industry continues to boom, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University senior Liz Bosch (’24) has developed a space-safety course curriculum that uses case studies based on past accidents, such as the Columbia and Challenger disasters, to effectively teach “safety and mission assurance.”
When she was 14, Bosch saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center and decided that one day she “would design something like that.” Later, while still in high school, she participated in one of Embry-Riddle’s summer aerospace programs and took an Introduction to Spaceflight class.
“That is where it all connected for me. I was going to be an aerospace engineer,” she said. “My love for space solidified.” In the spring and summer of 2023, internships at NASA’s Johnson Space Center led Bosch to her interest in Safety and Mission Assurance or space systems. She completed Level 1 of the S&MA Technical Excellence Program, which presented case studies of accidents in the space industry.
