Dziewczyna, która zasilała stacje kosmiczne

Olga was a smart girl who loved science.

She lived in Puerto Rico with her family.

Every night, she looked at the stars above.

She dreamed of sending rockets to space someday.

"I want to help astronauts fly to space," Olga said.

Her parents smiled at their daughter's big dreams.

They supported her love for learning and science.

Olga studied very hard in school every day.

Math was her favorite subject in class.

She also loved chemistry and physics lessons.

Her teachers saw that she was very smart.

After high school, Olga went to college.

She studied chemical engineering for many years.

The classes were difficult, but she never gave up.

She wanted to work with space technology.

Then Olga got a job at NASA.

NASA is America's space agency in the country.

She worked on a very important project there.

Her job was to create better batteries.

Space stations need powerful batteries to work properly.

Without good batteries, astronauts cannot survive in space.

The lights would turn off in the darkness.

The air systems would stop working completely.

But making space batteries was extremely difficult work.

Regular batteries do not work in space conditions.

Space is very cold and has no air.

The batteries must work for many years.

Olga worked day and night on this problem.

She tested hundreds of different battery designs.

Many experiments failed again and again repeatedly.

Other scientists said the project was impossible.

"We need batteries that never break down," Olga said.

She refused to quit working on the project.

She knew astronauts were counting on her success.

Finally, Olga discovered the perfect battery design solution.

She created nickel-hydrogen batteries for space use.

These batteries were much better than old ones.

They could work in space for fifteen years.

NASA tested Olga's batteries in their space laboratory.

The batteries worked perfectly in every single test.

The space agency was very happy with results.

They decided to use her batteries immediately.

Soon, NASA built the International Space Station above Earth.

This huge station flies around our planet daily.

Astronauts from many countries live there together.

They do important science experiments every day.

Olga's batteries power the entire space station perfectly.

The lights stay on all day and night.

The computers work without any problems at all.

The air systems keep astronauts safe and healthy.

Today, astronauts still use Olga's battery technology.

Her invention helps people explore space safely.

She proved that dreams can become real life.

Olga became famous around the world for her work.

Young students learn about her amazing scientific discoveries.

She shows that hard work makes dreams possible.

Now Olga encourages other young people to study science.

She visits schools and talks to students.

"You can change the world with science," she says.
