Join the Quincy Public Library and Illinois Libraries Present (ILP) for another amazing virtual program! This Women's History Month we honor amazing women who have forged paths in Science and technology fields!

Coralie Adam leads the multi-mission Optical Navigation team at KinetX Aerospace, where she has worked since 2011. She holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois, and an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado. During her 12 years at KinetX, Coralie has had lead roles on the navigation teams for NASA’s New Horizons, OSIRIS-REx, Lucy, and OSIRIS-APEX missions. In addition to leading the OSIRIS-REx optical navigation subsystem from development through sample collection, she co-convened the scientific investigation of Bennu’s active particle ejection phenomena. Coralie is currently the deputy Navigation Team Chief on NASA’s Lucy mission, and a navigation lead and science co-investigator on the OSIRIS-APEX extended mission to asteroid Apophis.
