• NASA L'Space Mission Concept Academy

  • Aug 2021 - Dec 2021

  Overview: NASA L'Space Mission Concept Academy is a workforce development program, challenging students to generate a mission payload and associated Preliminary Design Report that answers a given task. In the Autumn 2021 iteration of the Academy, we were tasked with locating a 100 metric ton sample of water ice and characterizing it for some scientific purpose we chose with an allotted payload size of 1 m^3 and a maximum of 30 kg.As a mechanical engineer on my team, Team 7enith:-Designed the rover's rocker-bogie suspension system-Led the modeling of each system component in Siemens NX-Assembled each of the rover's four iterations, adjusting each design to fit mission constraints-Conducted basic heat transfer diagrams to design the optimal thermal control system-Wrote about mechanical subsystems and redundancies in the team's PDR
