Thomas Nelson Community College graduate Mark Heroux is among an elite group chosen to participate this summer in NASA’s DEVELOP National Program, an internship that allows participants to work with advisors and mentors to learn about the application of NASA Earth Science and remote sensing. Sponsored by the aerospace giant’s Earth Sciences Applied Sciences Program, DEVELOP has teams at nine locations around the nation, and one in Mexico. It is headquartered at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton.
During the internship from June 4 to August 7, Heroux will apply knowledge he obtained while majoring in Geology at TNCC. He credits the College for opening the door to this valuable NASA experience. “TNCC had everything to do with me getting into the program. I would not have known about the opportunity otherwise. I was shocked to be accepted because I was told there were about 2,500 applicants and only 20 or 25 would be chosen,” said Heroux.
