Biography
Trevor Graff is a Space Scientist in the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division at NASA's Johnson Space Center. Trevor has participated on five missions to Mars, including roles as Science Team Member, Instrument Payload Lead, and as a Project Manager for unique flight hardware on the Mars 2020 rover. Currently he is the Artemis Hardware and Integrated Testing Lead, as a member of the Artemis Science Team, helping to coordinate the tools, techniques, technologies, and training required for human exploration as part of the next generation of lunar exploration with NASA’s Artemis program. Trevor is a human test subject for space suits and exploration concepts and has served as a crewmember on several of NASA’s analog missions (including living and working for weeks in the world’s only undersea research habit as a NASA Aquanaut during NEEMO 22). Additionally, Trevor has served over 16 years in the United States Army.
