Exploring Space with Coralie Adam

Online Event

Coralie Adam leads the multimission Optical Navigation team at KinetX Aerospace, the first privately held company to provide deep space navigation and flight dynamics expertise to NASA.

During her 13 years at KinetX, Coralie has had lead roles on the navigation teams for NASA’s New Horizons, OSIRIS-REx, Lucy, and OSIRIS-APEX missions.

Coralie’s work enabled the first exploration of the Pluto system and the historic sample collection of near-Earth asteroid Bennu. In addition to leading the OSIRIS-REx optical navigation team, she coconvened the scientific investigation of Bennu’s active particle ejection phenomena.

She is currently the deputy navigation chief on NASA’s Lucy mission to the Jupiter Trojan asteroids and is a navigation lead and science coinvestigator on the OSIRIS-APEx extended mission to asteroid Apophis. She also supports several commercial and government exploration initiatives to the moon and beyond.
