Wicked Local
Only in her mid-20s, Billerica native and Billerica Memorial High School class of 2014 alumni Amy Comeau has become a local space expert. An engineer and member of the Satellite Systems Rotation Program, Comeau recently reflected on what the Mars 2020 Perseverence Rover means for the world at this moment in time, and for the future of humanity.
As the Rover moves across the surface of the red planet with the guidance of Comeau s colleagues, she said she was absolutely elated, to see the craft land and the success the crew had at all stages of the project.
Comeau said she was lucky enough to be at Cape Canaveral to watch the launch of the Mars 2020 Perserverance last summer.
