Mary Ellen Weber Biography

Mary Ellen Weber is an American executive, scientist, aviator, speaker, and a former NASA astronaut.

Dr. Mary Ellen Weber is founder of Stellar Strategies, LLC, consulting in strategic communications and in strategies for high-stakes operations. She also serves on the NASA Advisory Council Committee on Technology and Innovation, the board that advises NASA on its future technologies; on the Board of Trustees for Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital; on the Board of Directors for Stellar Generation, Inc., a startup company focused on producing ultraclean affordable fuel; on the Board of Directors and as Vice President for the Association of Space Explorers, the only professional society of flown Astronauts, and on the Board of Advisors for Uplift Education, a high-performing charter school system.
