MEHDI SCOUBEAU - COMMANDER & CREW ENGINEERBorn in Belgium in 1991, Mehdi was in a scientific and mathematical high school before being admitted at the Faculté Polytechnique de Mons (UMons) to study mechanical engineering. Always pursuing his dreams and professional aspirations, he became a member of the TIME (Top Industrial Manager for Europe) network and continues his studies of space engineering at the Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (SUPAERO), in France, in order to get a double master degree. Besides being part of the Boy Scout organization, he travelled a lot and is always looking for new adventures by training to get the Private Pilot License, for example.

JYOTHI NOOKULA - GREENHAB OFFICERJyothi Nookula received her MBA from one of the top universities in India- Indian School of Business. She was awarded the torch bearer award, awarded to top 10 percentile displaying leadership, extra curricular and academic skills. Her undergraduate degree was Biotechnology Engineering. Currently, Jyothi works at 3D Systems as group product manager and leads their consumer 3D printers. She has successfully launched 4 next generation 3D printers, one of them which uses recyclable coca cola bottles. She also oversees the material launch plan for consumer 3D printing and cross functional planning. She is focused on developing creative products that integrate smoothly into daily life. She was bitten by the space bug while on the campus of NASA Ames. She realized there exists immense opportunity for technology to impact space exploration and lead to development not just interstellar but within Earth too! She is an avid drone collector- most of them printed on her own printers. In addition to her techie interest, she is a classical Indian dancer performing Kuchipudi style. Her other interest is combining organic and electronic into a colorful fusion, creating deep interactive art. Her latest project involves interactive art with the focal point being a collection of light up robotic flowers, using reflectivity, LEDs, fiber optics and sensor.MOHAMMAD IRANMANESH - CREW SCIENTIST / CO-JOURNALISTBorn in Belgium in. Passionate about the engineering challenges offered by Space Exploration, he starts a general Engineering Degree in Electromechanics at the Louvain School of Engineering before specializing with a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. Simultaneously, he enrolls in a double Master Degree in Space System Engineering and Automatic Control at Institut supérieur de l'aéronautique et de l'espace (ISAE-SUPAERO) in France. In addition to his academic curriculum, he has always been looking for opportunities to learn more and get out of his comfort zone (certified scuba diver and training glider pilot). The experiences that he has gathered thanks to multiple extracurricular projects has taught him to lead complex projects and multicultural teams in difficult conditions.SUSAN JEWELL MD - HSO & CO-JOURNALISTDr Susan Jewell is a veteran analog astronaut and has logged many hours in Mars analog simulations.
