The NASA L'SPACE Program is an online, interactive experience open to undergraduate STEM students interested in pursuing a career with NASA or other space organizations. I participated in the Mission Concept Academy during the Spring 2024 semester. We were divided into teams of 12 members each and worked on a mission to develop a Martian Lander. The complete interactive experience required our team to go through the entire NASA mission development process. Starting from the Mission Concept Review, we developed all technical documents such as the System Requirements Review, Mission Definition Review, Preliminary Design Review, and finally, a Final Presentation in front of industry experts and L'Space Mentors.
In SES 100, our team initiated Project MARY (Methane Arduino Resources Yielder), and I led the educational mission. Inspired by technical goals and a cinematic character, it aimed to spark curiosity about methane on Titan, Saturn's moon. MARY, designed for stable image capture during free fall, represented a fusion of creativity and technical prowess. As Project Leader, my responsibilities extended to effective project management. Budget considerations, progress monitoring, and team coordination contributed to the mission's success. The innovative design showcased adaptability for future educational explorations. MARY, under my leadership, met SES 100 requirements, illustrating the impact of imaginative leadership in aerospace education. This project stands as a testament to the potential of educational endeavors in preparing students for real-world challenges in aerospace exploration.
Project Fish-Y, conducted within SES 100: Introduction to Exploration, ventured into the intriguing realm of Martian exploration. Armed with access to THEMIS (Thermal Emission Imaging System) data from Mars Odyssey 2001, our team, with me as the leader, orchestrated commands to capture real-time images of Mars. Focused on a specific crater and utilizing THEMIS's Infrared, Visible, and DCS cameras, our research aimed to discern changes in Martian sand dunes from 2005 to 2021. Surprisingly, no visible alterations were observed, leading to the formulation of intriguing questions about Martian landscapes. This academic odyssey underscores the dynamic interplay of exploration, scientific inquiry, and the pursuit of knowledge in the quest to decode the mysteries of Mars.
