NASA ARTEMIS

Pulsed Plasma Thruster Stand

Summary:

As the main purchaser of supplies for the UW NASA Artemis Lava Tube challenge, I played a pivotal role in the successful execution of our team's entry, the M01-Skylight-Entry rover. We strategically incorporated 3D-printed parts to enhance the rover's capability to navigate the rough terrain of the obstacle course. Additionally, I led the coding efforts for the Raspberry Pi, enabling the rover with a camera for real-time navigation and photo documentation. Collaborating closely with team members, we addressed design challenges, coding complexities, and procured essential supplies to ensure the seamless functioning of our rover throughout the competition.

Experience Details

  • Collaborated closely to meticulously design and 3D print critical parts of the rover, optimizing its design
  • Utilized CAD and Simulink to create highly efficient and innovative components for the project
  • Resolved code complications during rover assembly, demonstrating expertise in problem-solving
  • Identified and addressed design deficiencies during assembly, implementing effective solutions for project success
