Rehmani was born in Pakistan but moved to Kuwait with her family when she was only a month old. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, she had to flee with her family to a refugee camp near the Iraq-Jordan border. It was then when I got more interested in this line of work and applied to NASA. “I work as an avionic and flight controls engineer and support NASA’s Launch Services Program, working on expendable launch vehicles and rockets. Rehmani also provides real-time updates to NASA’s LSP Twitter and Facebook accounts during launch countdowns when she is not providing engineering support to the mission staff.
