Today I’m joined by a long-time friend of Supplyframe, Sirina Nabhan who has one of the coolest jobs in the world. Sirina is a product and data systems engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

After graduating from UC Riverside, Sirina landed a three-month internship at NASA. Then, a few years later, they brought her on for real. These days, Sirina’s role is to build project and data systems in deep space networks, basically communicating with anything that goes to the moon and beyond.

Today, we’ll talk about how a robot video on Youtube inspired her career path, what’s happening between NASA and JAXA, the Japanese space program, and what we can expect to see in the near and distant future when it comes to deep space communication.
