  I designed, developed, and qualified a cable to connect two systems (AstroPi to HAM TV) on the International Space Station for Tim Peake's Principia mission. Including managing the payload development, I was responsible for the management of the public relations and outreach associated with the project given the heavy STEM focus of AstroPi.
