As President of Odyssey for the last 10+yrs, Jana Rebmann has contributed her 25+yrs of Aerospace Engineering experience to the business side of Odyssey, supporting the cadre of exciting space vehicles and projects that NASA and commercial companies have, and are, creating.

She has also worked abroad in the Netherlands and France, and completed the International Space University Space Studies Program in Toronto, Canada. At Odyssey, Jana has helped pursue, capture and manage several other exciting projects, including the Rendezvous Proximity and Capture prime contract, Commercial Crew and Cargo Transportation, and JSC Flight Control real-time support and Training simulations. Jana and Odyssey are now looking ahead to Moon and Mars exploration opportunities. Jana is honored to be a part of this continually growing, vibrant company and is looking forward to adding more exciting, cutting-edge projects as well as helping Odyssey shape the future of space exploration.
