# Olga González-Sanabria — Space Energy Source Packet

Public Short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VtOV6N7PU6s

## Receipt Spine

- NASA Glenn says González-Sanabria grew up in Patillas, Puerto Rico, earned her chemical engineering degree at the University of Puerto Rico in 1978, and began her NASA career at Lewis in 1979.
- NASA credits her and colleagues with advancing nickel-hydrogen battery technology, especially separators. She was part of the team recognized with a 1988 R&D 100 award for long cycle-life nickel-hydrogen batteries.
- NASA NTRS identifies her as a co-author of the 1987 technical memorandum `Test results of a 60 volt bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery`, document ID `19870014596`.
- NASA Glenn identifies her as the first Latina at the center to enter the Senior Executive Service. No exact SES year is asserted here.

## Guardrails

- The saved NASA biography contradicts itself: its introduction gives 1995 for entering the Senior Executive Service, while its body gives 2002. The source lock repeats 2002, but this archive deliberately omits an exact SES year pending resolution. The supported first-Latina-at-the-center claim remains attributed to NASA Glenn.
- Do not call her an astronaut, the inventor of the space battery, or the sole creator of nickel-hydrogen technology. Use contribution, co-authorship, and team recognition.
- Use NASA Lewis Research Center for the early-career period and NASA Glenn for the current center and Hall of Fame biography.
- Patillas is supported as where she grew up; do not turn that into an unverified birthplace claim.
- Generated imagery is illustration, not documentary evidence.
