Analysis

Analysis is the key to pushing any engineering design beyond both the initial thought, and to it's refined and version.

Bipropellant Thrusters

These thrusters are a staple of when you need a compact, and high performance system for any type of maneuver.

Their are several different mixtures that range from the traditional NTO/Hydrazine hypergolic reaction, to the more complex H2O2/RP1.

CubeSat Propulsion Valve

This is a CAD rendering of the ground test valve for CubeSat Propulsion systems.

Electronics

During my time, I have created electronics boards for several purposes. These range from simple circuits to deploy an antenna, to an interface board that is able to control multiple pieces of hardware simultaneously.

Monopropellant Thrusters

A monopropellant thruster (monoprop), is a thruster that uses a single fluid that decomposes into a gas when in contact with certain materials.

Propellant Management Device (PMD)

A PMD is a device that allows for the control of fluid position and movement in low and zero G environments.

Satellite Control Algorithms

I have put together several control algorithm simulations for a satellite in orbit. These simulink simulations are PID, deadband (bang bang), and LQR controllers.

Satellite Systems

I have lead and developed multiple systems that are either currently in orbit or are about to be launched. The first system I worked on was the communication's subsystem for EagleSat-1.

Software

I have experience in creating software to control remote systems. The most complex was to control a remote unit through a graphical user interface and to report the unit's positional information in real time.

Solid Propulsion

Solid propulsion (motors) is a form of propulsion where the fuel and oxidizer are pre mixed in a binder. Then, when an ignition source is applied it causes the mixture to combust in a highly energetic fashion.

Thrust Vector Control

Utilizing alternate layers of metal and a specially formulated rubber. A compliant assembly is able to provide high torque control while ensuring hot gasses do not escape through the TVC assembly.
