He holds Masters degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics and a doctorate in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Washington. He is the inventor for over 15 US patents for technologies in the field of space propulsion\, exploration\, and energy\, the author of over 200 published technical and non-technical papers in the field\, as well the non-fiction books “The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must” (Simon and Schuster 1996)\, “Entering Space” (Tarcher Putnam 1999)\, “Mars on Earth” (Tarcher Penguin 2003)\, “Energy Victory” (Prometheus Books\, 2007)and “Merchants of Despair\,” (Encounter Books\, 2012). He is also the author of the novels “The Holy Land\,” (Polaris Books\, 2003) and “First Landing\,” (Ace 2001)\, and the science-humor immigrant guidebook\, “How to Live on Mars” (Three Rivers Press\, 2008). His most recent work is “The Case for Space: How the Space Revolution Opens a Future of Limitless Possibility\,” (Prometheus Books\, 2019.) \n \nHe is a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society and former Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Space Society. He is the founder of the Mars Society; an international organization dedicated to furthering the exploration and settlement of Mars by both public and private means. In that capacity\, he personally led the construction and operation of a human Mars exploration training station on Devon Island\, an uninhabited island in the Canadian Arctic 900 miles from the North Pole. Prior to his work in astronautics\, Dr. Zubrin was employed in areas of thermonuclear fusion research\, nuclear engineering\, radiation protection\, and as a high school science teacher.

Ericsson is an Aerospace Engineer\, who has held numerous positions in education\, technically and athletically. While attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) she worked in the Space Systems Laboratory and worked on a fiber optic gyroscope in the Physics Laboratory. Dr. Ericsson’s early research at Howard University (HU) was developing control methods for orbiting large space platforms like International Space Station. She has served as an Adjunct Faculty member at several Universities. Currently\, she sits on Engineering Academic boards at the National Academies\, and MIT and previously at HU as a Trustee and as the Chair of the HU Middle School of Mathematics and Science. \nDuring her 25+ year tenure with NASA\, Dr. Ericsson has worked as Aerospace Engineer\, Technologist\, Project and Program Manager and Executive. In 2017\, she assumed the position of New Business Lead for the NASA GSFC Instrument Systems and Technology Division. Just prior\, she served as the Capture Manager for a proposed Astrophysics mid-sized Class Explorer\, called STAR-X. Prior to that proposal development\, Dr. Ericsson served as the GSFC Program Manager for SBIR/STTR. Formerly\, she served as the Deputy to the Chief Technologist for the Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate. As an Instrument Project Manager\, she has led spaceflight instrument teams and proposal developments for instruments ranging from $15M to $500M. As an Attitude Control Systems analyst\, Dr. Ericsson developed practical control methods\, and analyzed structural dynamics for several space science missions. She served as a NASA HQs Program Executive for Earth Science\, and a Business Executive for Space Science. \nDr. Ericsson is also an athlete. Throughout her life she has competed in basketball\, flag football and softball. She played on National ranked softball teams which have won two Coed Worlds numerous Stat Championships\, and a Women’s military World tournaments. She has been voted women’s MVP for coed flag football. Dr. Ericsson’s dedication to youth has also continued as a basketball\, softball\, baseball and T-ball Coach.
