How clean is space-clean? ✨ Dust is the enemy of all spaceflight hardware and parts must be meticulously cleaned to avoid risk of contamination on orbit. Our experts use ultrasonic tanks and a variety of solvents and cleaning tools in our Precision Cleaning Lab to ensure parts are ready for integration and test. Photo credit: SDL/Allison Bills

Protecting astronauts since 2006. 🌌 The Floating Potential Measurement Unit is an operational unit on the ISS designed to protect the astronauts and equipment from dangerous static electricity that can build up on the astronauts and the spacecraft. Led by USU, our team built the instrument to measure floating potential, plasma density, and temperature. #FromTheArchives Photo credit: SDL, NASA

It’s so exciting to see our Director of HR in her element! 🌟 Dive into Sharon’s conversation with the Fraud to Fearless Podcast as she offers advice on navigating imposter syndrome.
Meet Sharon Giles —a powerhouse of wisdom, confidence, and authenticity. Her reminder? Success isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about fully embracing who you are. Instead of comparison, choose appreciation. Instead of shrinking, stand tall (maybe even in some imaginary stilettos). In Episode 5 of Fraud to Fearless, Sharon shares how she shifted from doubt to confidence—and how you can do the same. This episode, sponsored by the Utah State University Huntsman Master of Human Resources program, drops Feb 12, 2025! You won’t want to miss it. 🎙 Learn more about the Huntsman MHR program: huntsman.usu.edu/mhr #FraudToFearless #MeetTheGuest #Authenticity #OwnYourPower #Confidence #Leadership #usu #usumhr #beyou #befearless #impostersyndrome
