Technican 🥼
Technicians work with engineers and scientists and contribute to space exploration in a variety of ways. For example, they might help engineers test designs or determine whether climate conditions are suitable for launching a mission. There are many different types such as, aerospace engineering, avionics, and meteorological. They make around 70k (according to NASA) depending on experience and performance.
Media and communications 📸
Media and communications workers describe the collaboration involved in developing new technologies—and help the public to understand the importance of the work. These workers use a variety of media to convey information, but they have the same goal: to explain the science of projects or discoveries in an easy-to-understand format. Occupations include photographers, producers, writers, and publc relation specialists.
