The majority of Dr. Ericsson’s 20+ years engineering career has been at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Initially she worked in the Guidance Navigation & Control discipline, conducting spacecraft simulations and analysis to predict their dynamic behavior during flight and to determine the best spacecraft attitude and structural vibration control methods. Dr. Ericsson has also worked at NASA HQs as a Program Executive for the Earth Science Enterprise and a Resource Manager Space Science Enterprise. During the last 5 years, she has been an Instrument Manager (IM) in the GSFC Instrument Systems Branch, where she has led/managed teams of scientist and engineers on various instrument proposals and flight missions. Her proposal efforts include: the Lead for the Space Science Small Explorer Advanced X-Ray Polarimeter (AXP) mission, which was awarded an unsolicited $0.5M to further develop its new technology; telescope manager for the Jupiter Magnetosphere Explorer; and IM for the Vector Electro-Dynamics Investigation, Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph Spectrometer instrument and for Dust Collector Experiment on SCIM, a proposed Mars Scout sample and return mission. Currently, Dr. Ericsson is the IM for the resubmission of the AXP proposal and Project Engineer for Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter Instrument which will provide topographic data to map the lunar surface in preparation for future moon exploration.
