by Jennifer Marino Walters (Author), Scott R. Brooks (Illustrator)

Ellen Ochoa was selected by NASA in 1990 to join its astronaut program, and she became the first Hispanic female astronaut when she completed her training in 1991.

Two years later, she flew on the space shuttle Discovery, becoming the first Latina to be launched into space. Ochoa continued breaking barriers at NASA for women and for Hispanics.
