Two-way visual communication was established between Lucht and the interpreter, located at NASA\u2019s Langley Research Center in Virginia, for the flight. Interpreting technical terminology often requires cooperation to develop specific signs to ease communication. Using a familiar interpreter who is adept or practiced in the technical terminology of a NASA flight was beneficial, Lucht says.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA\/Lauren Hughes<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>On April 4, 2017, which was the 34th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger\u2019s maiden voyage, a modified NASA Gulfstream III took off at Edwards Air Force Base in California to become the first NASA aircraft to fly with a twisted wing flap configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, inside NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center\u2019s mission control center were engineers working the flight and validating technology to test improved flight efficiency through the use of a twisted flap. They watched their monitors, analyzed the flight\u2019s early stages, and all wore headsets to listen in on communications \u2013 all except one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the front of the room, wearing no headset, sat a young systems engineer named Johanna Lucht who, on a day of firsts for NASA, became the first deaf engineer to carry out an active role in a NASA control center during a crewed research flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht, who was born deaf, earned the training position of Systems II engineer for the flight, in which she was responsible for observing and evaluating data related to the aircraft\u2019s GPS and Navigation Systems, as well as analyzing inflight data, to monitor how well the aircraft is performing in flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The milestone of having a deaf engineer in a role with such responsibilities was not without its challenges. It was the ability to overcome challenges, however, that made NASA and Johanna the perfect fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht was born in Germany, where resources for deaf people were, at the time, limited. As a result, she was unable to communicate through much of her childhood. In fact, Lucht developed an understanding of mathematics before she acquired language. It wasn\u2019t until the age of nine when she learned her first true language, which is American Sign Language, or ASL, followed by English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was that passion of math and the ability to face challenges that led Johanna to her eventual studies of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, and began her road to NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMath was the first thing I really understood in school, so I always had a love for it, growing up,\u201d Lucht stated. \u201cIt was something I worked at understanding, and it became my favorite subject. I grew up skilled in math.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht moved to Alaska, where there were more accessible programs for deaf individuals, as well as exposure to the Deaf community. This allowed her not only to mature her communication skills, but to expand her studies in STEM. One program, Summery Academy 2008, introduced Johanna to computer science, and she began to immerse herself further into this study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a computer science student at the University of Minnesota \u2013 Twin Cities, Lucht began receiving emails about a NASA internship program. Initially, she had no intention to apply for the program, but finally, on the third email, she gave it a try. Shortly after, she was accepted to intern at NASA Armstrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNASA offered me the opportunity, and I was shocked,\u201d Lucht recalled. \u201cWhen I was a kid, I used to learn about Challenger and the shuttles. It was interesting, but I never really thought I\u2019d be a part of NASA. When I read the offer in the email, I closed my laptop, went for a walk, came back, re-read it, cleaned my glasses, and read it again. I pinched myself, and decided this was really happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1638\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?w=1638\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Johanna Lucht was born deaf in Germany, where resources for deaf people were, at the time, limited.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=240,300 240w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=768,960 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=819,1024 819w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=1229,1536 1229w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=1638,2048 1638w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=320,400 320w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=480,600 480w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=720,900 720w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=960,1200 960w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0002-15_johanna_lucht.jpg?resize=1600,2000 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Johanna Lucht was born deaf in Germany, where resources for deaf people were, at the time, limited. Her school did not provide an interpreter until Lucht was 9 years old. Lucht has worked with NASA Armstrong\u2019s research and engineering department, sensors and systems development branch, and vehicle integration and test branch since being hired by NASA. She says the challenges she faced growing up as a deaf person in the hearing world in-part prepared her for her role at NASA.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA\/Ken Ulbrich<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As a young intern in NASA Armstrong\u2019s research and engineering department, Lucht worked on the interface for a mobile app version of the Ground Collision Avoidance System, meant to alert pilots to the detection of potentially hazardous terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht\u2019s talent and ability to meet challenges efficiently and analytically were evident to NASA, and she was offered a position shortly following her internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht joined NASA Armstrong\u2019s Sensors and Systems Development branch, before transferring to the center\u2019s Vehicle Integration and Test branch in 2016, which designs, integrates, and tests research systems onto airborne platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lead systems engineer Keith Schweikhard says it didn\u2019t take long to notice the magnitude of Lucht\u2019s talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJohanna was given an assignment to run environmental testing with the lab technicians. It could have been a challenge, because she had to communicate with a group of strangers she didn\u2019t know,\u201d Schweikhard remembered. \u201cUnder normal circumstances, I expect it to take four to five days to complete. Johanna did it in two days. She quickly worked out a way to communicate with the team, to conduct the tests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht continued working software management, developing instrumentation systems and support testing, and occasionally giving presentations to audiences on how to work with Deaf people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge was to find an interpreter with technical skills in the language. Many interpreters have liberal arts backgrounds, and may sometimes struggle to verbalize correct terminology and interpret highly technical content in sign, where some of technical terminology does not exist in ASL. Instead, they often have to be spelled out by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, Deaf clients and interpreters have to work together to invent some signs in order to ease communication. It becomes a challenge when the technical interpreter who has been trained in the terminology is not used consistently. This results in the Deaf client being forced to teach each new interpreter the technical terminology repeatedly, in a limited time before, during, and after meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these issues for a mission control setting, a system was established in which an interpreter who worked with Lucht regularly during project meetings was arranged to be present at NASA\u2019s Langley Research Center in Virginia, where she is located, and was able to listen to communications of the flight as they happened. Meanwhile, two way visual communication between Lucht and the interpreter was established.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"NASA Armstrong\u2019s Mission Control Center, or MCC, is where culmination of all data-gathering occurs.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg 5573w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=1200,800 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/afrc2017-0076-1.jpg?resize=2000,1333 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">NASA Armstrong\u2019s Mission Control Center, or MCC, is where culmination of all data-gathering occurs.

After successfully practicing the communication, it was decided that Lucht was ready to take on the training Systems II role for the actual flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day of the actual flight, Lucht says she was more excited than nervous. She settled into her seat, next to Schweikhard, and prepared for the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the moment the flight took off, Johanna focused on her monitors, began analyzing data, and the communications proceeded seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht discussed one moment during the flight, in which she was seemingly one of the few people to pick up on a particular flight maneuver before it had even been communicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pilot was to perform a maneuver, called a Pushover-Pull-up, or POPU. In the maneuver, the pilot dips the nose of the aircraft, to produce low gravitational forces, and then pulls up, to create higher g-forces on the aircraft to test structural integrity. The maneuver was scheduled to be coming up, but as it had not yet been stated, it was not yet expected to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucht noted a change in the data coming in from the aircraft. She looked over to the interpreter, but since no communication had been made about the maneuver, there was nothing for the interpreter to sign over to Johanna. She then looked around the control room, and no one seemed to notice or commented on the maneuver. Then the pilot communicated that he had completed the maneuver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe communication was a bit mixed-up at that point, and I noticed someone placed their hand on their forehead, so I wrote down on paper and passed it to Keith, asking if the pilot jumped ahead and had done the maneuver. He nodded his head,\u201d Lucht recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johanna was not only adequate in her role during the flight, but she excelled, showing that she can work in a fast-paced environment as effectively as other engineers in the room, without any unnecessary complications.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Lucht\u2019s role in NASA Armstrong\u2019s Mission Control Center was Systems II engineer, monitoring flight performance and data for an A\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg 3840w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=400,225 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=600,338 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=900,506 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=1200,675 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/img_0018.jpg?resize=2000,1125 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Lucht\u2019s role in NASA Armstrong\u2019s Mission Control Center was Systems II engineer, monitoring flight performance and data for an Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge, or ACTE, flight.

Rather, she says, the challenge is presented through the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImagine yourself in a Deaf world instead of a hearing world, where nearly everyone uses American Sign Language. Also imagine anything you can hear through sound, like public announcements, customer services, festivals, work, movies, but this time they all are conducted in American Sign Language via video. Unless you know ASL, you will experience most of the challenges we Deaf people experience. We all meet the challenges that are presented in the environment, and do what we can to overcome it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, in an agency where overcoming challenges is considered the status quo, Johanna Lucht fits in entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Lucht has advice for people who are growing up, facing those challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI never thought I would work for NASA, until they offered me a spot.

Keep an open mind, and do what you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFollow your motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-full width-full maxw-full padding-x-3 padding-y-0 article_a
