-September 15th kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month; this event spans through October 16th. As we recognize this month, we will be sharing facts about Hispanic Heritage as well as recognizing important people that have impacted Hispanic history. Today we are recognizing Ellen Ochoa, who made her mark by becoming the first Hisapnic American woman to go to space with a nine-day mission in 1993. She was born in Los Angeles, years after grandparents immigrated from Mexico. She first obtained her physics degree from San Diego State University and by 1985 also had earned her Master’s and Doctorate degrees from Stanford University. Through her impressive research work, NASA selected Ochoa to become an astronaut in 1991. Two years later she made history on board the space shuttle Discovery on a mission to study the Earth’s Ozone layer. She completed three more missions following that.
