PAUL WOOSTER

My goal is to expand humanity into space. This goal has been a driving force behind many of my endeavors, and is one of the reasons I founded DevelopSpace. I believe that we can help catalyze the technical developments necessary to make the outwards expansion of our species happen. I am currently an engineer at SpaceX in Los Angeles, California, where I primarily work on the Dragon spacecraft to send cargo and humans into space. Prior to that I was a Research Scientist in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, where I was involved in a number of things including developing system architectures for human Moon and Mars exploration in support of NASA's Vision for Space Exploration and managing the Mars Gravity Biosatellite, a mission to study the effects of Mars-level gravity on mammals (which involved sending a group of mice into space). During my time at MIT, I also managed to pick-up Bachelors and Masters degrees in Aerospace Engineering.
