Jesika A. Geliga Torres is a Puerto Rican student pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. She will be graduating in May 2024 and will be then pursuing her Master's degree in Dynamics and Control. She is part of the Space Trajectories and Applications Research (STAR) Group and her current research initiative is centered in creating an Augmented Reality Framework that allows for trajectory design within our solar system and cislunar surveillance. Her hobbies include working out, going to the beach, and spending as much time with her family as she can when she is able to go home. Once she obtains her Master's, she hopes to keep working towards advancing scientific exploration and human presence on the moon, and on designing control systems for spacecrafts.
