Bridget Landry was educated as a chemist and planetary scientist, trained as an engineer, and has worked in spacecraft operations at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena for more than 20 years. Most of her career has been in what is known as sequencing: building sets of commands that are sent to and stored on the spacecraft to execute the bulk of the spacecraft activities over a specific period of time. She has worked on the Hubble Space Telescope, the joint US-French oceanographic Earth-orbiter Topex, the (wildly successful!) Mars Pathfinder project, the Cassini mission to Saturn and the Dawn mission to the main asteroid belt. Ms. Landry is currently a team member of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, where she supports the orbiter's mission and relay for both currently functioning Mars rovers, Opportunity and Curiosity.

Ms. Landry takes great interest in the advancement of women in technical fields, and the helps and bars to their progress, as well as in the problem of sparking and maintaining girls' early interest in science and math. In her technical hat, she has been on science-related panels at WorldCons, local, and regional conventions and has been a Science GoH at several regional cons, as well as participating in outreach activities outside the fannish community.

With the other side of her brain, Ms. Landry is a Master Level costumer with a twisted sense of humor, (google "Strauss Waltz Assault Team"), and a fondness for ST:TOS. She has been on panels and won Masquerade awards from the local to the WorldCon level.
