Mimi Aung Biography

MiMi Aung is a Burmese-American engineer and project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). She is a lead engineer on the Mars Helicopter Ingenuity, the first extraterrestrial aircraft.

Aung was born in the United States, where her parents met, though her family returned to Burma when she was 2 years old. After spending her childhood in Burma and Malaysia, Aung returned to the United States at age 16 and studied engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees. In 1990, she joined JPL.

On February 18, 2021, Ingenuity arrived on Mars and on April 19 took its first 39-second flight. Aung said, it “was an incredible moment” and “This morning our dream came true.” The flight is being compared to the first flight in 1903 of the Wright brothers' airplane, a small piece of which was carried by the helicopter to Mars.

Aung is on the list of TIME 100 Most Influential People of 2021.
