Dr. Ellen Ochoa is a real person who is an astronaut. Although the show has always had Amy Mainzer on interstitials, Ellen is the first person to be animated in 3D like the regular cast characters. She debuted in her eponymous episode Astronaut Ellen Ochoa! on March 8th, 2019.
When she first appears, she addresses Isidro on the phone saying she's going to the Deep Space Array to meet with "doctors Skelley, Rafferty and Bergs". She does not mention their boss Dr. Melendez, but does mention being "back" in Boxwood Terrace, indicating she had been there before.
Even though she appears in the episode, she does not voice herself. Kathleen Barr instead voices her.
She later makes a cameo during the research montage in Moon Face.
