In this episode of She Reaches, host Tanveer Pujara sits down with Laura Crabtree — aerospace engineer, CEO and co-founder of Epsilon3, and one of the Crew Operations & Resource Engineers (CORE) who helped put the United States back in the human spaceflight business.

Before launching Epsilon3 in 2021, Laura spent more than a decade at SpaceX, where she trained astronauts, authored and executed hundreds of procedures, and sat on console for milestone Dragon missions — including the first flight to the ISS and the first commercial crew launch in 2020.

Epsilon3, often described as the "operating system for space missions," was born from Laura's first-hand experience with checklists, spreadsheets, and tools that couldn't keep pace with the complexity of modern space operations. Today, the platform is streamlining workflows not only for spacecraft but also for aviation and other industries with complex technical missions.

Tune in to hear Laura's founder journey and why she's passionate about building better tools, mentoring the next generation of women in STEM, and chasing big challenges both in and out of this world.
