If anyone here works in the space industry, would you be willing to tell me about the most important credentials and qualities someone needs to work in your field?

I don't work in that industry but it seems inevitable to me that you will need mostly engineering credentials.
 
The best thing for you to do would be to actually look at job advertisements for the sort of job you think you'd like to do. The qualifications they require are the qualifications you need to get.
