Scott Lazaroff

I have worked as a Power Systems Engineer at the NASA-JSC for almost eleven years, all in the Power Branch of the Energy Systems Division (which used to be called the Propulsion and Power Division). My projects have included power system applications for the Space Shuttle, Space Station, Lunar/Mars, and astronaut equipment. My current responsibilities is Battery Power System Engineer for the Space Station Crew Rescue Vehicle (X-38), designing a battery for a small autonomous robot camera (MiniAercam), project oversight for a battery to power a new Shuttle Auxiliary Power Unit (EAPU), and numerous other battery and fuel cell development projects.

I became an Aerospace Engineer because I really enjoy space, aircraft flight, and the scientific principals that allow man to accomplish these activities. For that reason I attended the University of Kansas and obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1989. That summer I started worked here at NASA. I have participated in a variety of Education Outreach Programs including Engineer's Week, solar car projects for 5th graders and Intermediate School students, and being a Science Advisor (SciAd) to Whitcomb Elementary.
