Bindi, I worked in defense as a Mechanical Engineer and I would say any background or experience in an analytics role would help you progress into Data Science. Exposure to math and statistics really helps. Data Science requires a natural curiosity about data and problem-solving. I would say as an aerospace engineer you have these qualities. I would take some training in this space. General data science class, freshen up on your statistics, a machine learning class, and learn Python. Hope this helps.
