Libby Jackson – Space Flight Director

Libby Jackson is currently the Human Spaceflight and Microgravity Programme Manager for the UK Space Agency, so she is responsible for the UK’s Human Spaceflight and Microgravity programmes on the International Space Station (ISS).

This is how she responded to being asked…

What advice would you give to someone who wants to work in space?

Remember there is not a job in the world you can’t do in the world of human space flight – it needs everything, from lawyers and medics to economists and teachers. Believe in yourself, and don’t take any notice of anyone who doesn’t believe in you. Work hard and be nice to people. And enjoy your study and work! That’s really important – I love working in space operations!
