Mitchell native talks working with NASA and Artemis II crew

Katrina Willoughby, a native of Mitchell, South Dakota, played a crucial role in NASA's Artemis II mission by training the astronauts on photography. As an imagery expert with KBR in Houston, Texas, under contract with NASA, Willoughby led the development of training curricula and procedures for the crew. She oversaw the creation of 116 procedures across seven different imagery systems. Willoughby has been working with NASA since 2004, initially on imaging for the International Space Station before transitioning to the Artemis program seven years ago. The Artemis II mission successfully orbited the moon and returned with new data and stunning images. Willoughby is already working on a camera system for future Artemis missions, which will be used on the lunar surface.
