45th Space Wing Weather Squadron working this launch are all women, reports News 6 partner Florida Today."Our flight commander, Capt.
Fontenot, he put together the crew and was like, 'Wow, all of these launch weather officers and all of these personnel are female.
Wouldn't this make a great story?' And I was like, 'yes!,'" Launch Weather Director Capt. Nancy Zimmerman told reporters Thursday morning at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Morrell Operations Center.
Operating since the early 1990s, the weather squadron at the 45th Space Wing, which is composed of both active-duty military members and civilians, had been primarily made up of men.
