ONE SMALL ROLE FOR A MIAMI MAN

ONE GIANT LEAP FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Rhonel Cinous and Vincenzo Piscopo CEO of United Spinal Association at Johnson Space Center 

Rhonel Cinous, a podcaster and former radio host, has always been a techie.


His interest in adaptive and voice-controlled technology arose after he experienced a severe spinal cord injury in a snorkeling accident in 2016 during his first visit to Haiti, his family’s home country.

Following his recovery, the Miami-based Cinous never imagined he would contribute to a NASA space mission.

But this month, he found himself at the Johnson Space Center in Houston as part of a virtual team testing out Callisto, a communication technology project for the Artemis I mission's Orion spacecraft.
