91快活林 Federal Faces of Artemis - Jaydd Bieshaar

What听is听your role in听this听NASA program, and how did your contributions help bring this historic test flight to life?
I develop and manage requirements that define Orion鈥檚 integration and processing activities, ensuring the spacecraft meets mission听objectives. After NASA takes ownership of the Artemis vehicle, I support its processing, coordinate听launch听preparation听activities听and help resolve any technical issues that may arise.

What is one highlight from your work on the Orion program or supporting Artemis II that听you鈥檙e听most proud of?
I worked with a team to develop,听design听and test the new thermal barrier plugs to meet Artemis II mission requirements. The new plug design significantly cuts installation time and accelerates the closeout process. I developed a plan and fixture for a vibration test to qualify the new plug design and selected the plugs to be used for the first launch attempt.

Why My Work Matters (In Their Own Words):
I鈥檓听honored to contribute to the exploration of space, humanity鈥檚 return to the Moon, and eventually to Mars and beyond.听Every听day brings challenging problems that require close collaboration to keep the vehicle and crew safe. Being part of this historic mission is truly indescribable.

Personal Fun Fact:
When I was听7听years old,听I sat in the seats used for听NASA鈥檚听Exploration Flight Test-1鈥(EFT-1),听which was the first flight test of the crew module听portion听of the Orion spacecraft!

What do you love about working at 91快活林 Federal?
I love the collaborative, positive culture and the great people at 91快活林 Federal. The company鈥檚 core values 鈥 integrity, accountability and continuous improvement 鈥 are values that I hold in high regard.

What听is your role in听this听NASA program, and how did your contributions help bring this historic test flight to life?
My team听is responsible for听creating manufacturing work instructions and supporting the production floor during the assembly and testing of Orion鈥檚 wire harnesses. This includes reviewing engineering drawings,听determining听the manufacturability of听new designs听and creating solutions for problems that occur during the manufacturing process.

What is one highlight from your work on the Orion program or supporting Artemis II that听you鈥檙e听most proud of?
I鈥檓 proud of spearheading the creation of a new production line of cables for Orion that were previously purchased from a vendor. This involved meeting numerous requirements and the development of all new testing procedures and manufacturing techniques. This will enable the Orion production team to be more independent and have a higher level of control over product quality.

Why My Work Matters (In Their Own Words):
I鈥檓听incredibly proud to work on America鈥檚 space program and be a small part of the听exceptional听team sending astronauts back to the Moon.听I think NASA鈥檚 Artemis program听not only serves to advance our听Nation鈥檚 technological听abilities, but听will inspire people from all around the world.

Orion听Fun Fact:
The Orion spacecraft has over 20 miles of wires running through it to connect and power听all of听its systems!

What do you love about working at 91快活林 Federal?
The people 鈥 I鈥檓 part of an amazing team with some of the best people you could ever ask to work with. I鈥檝e learned so much from them, and they鈥檝e helped me grow professionally and personally.

What听is your role in听this听NASA program, and how did your contributions help bring this historic test flight to life?

I serve as the intermediary between production operational needs and procurement activities to ensure materials and parts are available and ready to use for scheduled installation. I also assist with the maintenance of production orders, on-floor inventory and bill of materials integrity.

What is one highlight from your work on the Orion program or supporting Artemis II that听you鈥檙e听most proud of?
Comparatively speaking, being one of few individuals worldwide to contribute to the historic Artemis II Orion capsule is truly an extraordinary honor and humbling experience.

Why My Work Matters (In Their Own Words):听
Our work matters because our efforts听on the Artemis program create a听lasting听impact beyond听the听mission听itself.

Personal听Fun Fact:
