While Karolina Liukaitytė communicates daily with weather satellites and weather stations, Simona is dedicated to space exploration. Simona is currently contributing to NASA projects at the American Space Agency. Simona Liukaitytė built one of the chambers of Perseverance, a Martian who had just landed on Mars.

“I worked on a segment called Supercam, its goal is to analyze the rocks on Mars and find out what compounds make up the planet and possibly find the life that existed there,” Simona Liukaitytė-Suszczynska told the LNK KK2 television program.

“Those cameras can see the fly from a distance of 62 meters,” adds Simona.

Simona worked at the Martian for half a year. The device was built by a team of more than a thousand people. The work on the new Martian took days, no one counted the hours, but no one complained.

Simona developed a strong character at MKČiurlionis School of Arts. Then he did not think of any cosmos, together with his twin sister Carolina he dreamed of becoming a dancer.

“Maybe we didn’t fill the blood in the jug, but the blood was running off my fingers. And as the teachers used to say, if you wake up in the morning and it doesn’t hurt, it means you’re dead. The ballet is too heavy.” .

Simona studied the basics of ballet with her twin sister Carolina. The current LNK host shows off her dance skills one more year after 12th grade, and Simona decided it would be enough to want to become a scientist.

After school, Simona entered physics college and graduated with a bachelor’s degree. Then he completed his master’s degree, went to France and completed another master’s degree. She then worked in laboratories in France and Germany and met her husband, an engineer from Poland. However, no matter how much Simona wanders abroad and space, she only sees life in Lithuania.

“We have both decided that Lithuania is a suitable country, there is a family, an environment and we will live here,” says Simona Liukaitytė-Suszczynska, twin sister of the host of the LNK program “Good evening Lithuania”.

The full story is out this Wednesday night, 7.30pm, on the LNK KK2 television show.
