Jeanne Lee Crews (born 1940) was an American aerospace engineer at NASA, and also one of the first female engineers to join the agency.[1] She retired in November 2002 and is now living in Satellite Beach, Florida. In order to protect spacecraft from debris, she designed a "flexible multi-shock shield to protect spacecraft from debris,"[1] which is still in use on the International Space Station today. Jeanne Lee Crews is also one of the first women at NASA to participate on a zero-G flight.[1] She has more recently been working on a way to gather and accumulate orbital debris, through a large balloon that will return to Earth once full.[1] Jeanne Lee Crews has been awarded with Aerospace Lifetime Achievement Award, the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, and the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal.[1]
