Andy Greco

My name is Andy and I spend most of my time as an aerospace engineer for Boeing in the 737 MAX Final Assembly facility. I use a unique certification called Material Review Board (MRB) to design repairs for the systems and structure of the airplane. I came to this point in my career by amassing experience as a pilot, motorcycle mechanic, flight test engineer, aerodynamics engineer, and over a decade of work in most aspects of commercial airplane design, fabrication, and operation. I started flying airplanes when I was 16 years old and I am a Certified Flight Instructor. I’m proud to say that last year I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Space Systems through Florida Tech. I can’t seem to get enough of the world of aerospace.

In 2023 I was selected to be an Analog Astronaut crew member and the Lead Engineer for the 15th expedition to the Mars Society’s Arctic Research Station. This Mars Analog station is located above the Arctic Circle on the rim of the Haughton Crater on Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada. It is a place on Earth that is very Mars-like where scientists and engineers test out the technology, techniques, and equipment humans will use to live and work on Mars. Check out more on the Blog and the links below. Since then I’ve been asked to take on the role of the Arctic Station’s Chief Engineer. I train Arctic crews for their expeditions and help run the maintenance and operations of the station.
