🚀 Exciting Milestone Unlocked! 🚀 I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have successfully #completed the NASA L'SPACE Program L’Space NPWEE Academy - Fall 2024 and have been accepted into the NASA L’Space Mission Concept Academy (MCA) for Spring 2025! 🎉 Over the past few months, my journey with NPWEE has been nothing short of #transformative. I had the incredible #opportunity to work on a concept space #mission project—developing an electromechanically controlled adhesive #material for space docking, spacewalks, and other advanced #aerospace applications. This experience not only deepened my understanding of real-world #NASA #research proposals but also allowed me to learn directly from NASA scientists and engineers about technical writing, proposal drafting, and the meticulous process of #missionplanning. As I step into the Mission Concept Academy this spring, I look forward to further honing my skills in space mission design, #spacecraft systems, and interdisciplinary research. My #goal is to contribute meaningfully to the space industry and advance innovative technologies that will push the boundaries of human #spaceexploration. This achievement would not have been possible without the exceptional #mentorship and #guidance from the NASA L’Space team, my faculty, #mentors, well-wishers, #friends, and #family. I am deeply grateful for your unwavering #support and encouragement have been instrumental in my journey.

2024 NASA Student Launch Initiative: the University of North Dakota Advanced Rocketry Club had a successful flight down in Huntsville Alabama for the 2024 NASA SLI competition! this year was a tough one... we encountered many different challenges and some major vehicle and payload failures. It's tough to see all the time, money, and hard work we've put in over the past 8 months be destroyed in seconds. But from these failures we have learned so much more than we would've with a perfect flight. These hard lessons that we learn now will help us design better, and more robust rockets and payloads in the future. applying these lessons in a way we can positively influence ARC for future students will ultimately help us build a stronger future for collegate rocketry here at UND.

Some time earlier this year we gathered a cohort of early, career, mid-career and senior NASA engineering personnel (e.g. those who reside within our NASA Engineering Directorates) and asked them what sort of NASA of the future did they want to be part of. The answers were varied based on age and experience, of course, but also remarkably similar. Some common themes across all age groups were: - Doing hard things and tackling tough challenges that few in the world can do. - Exploring space, developing technologies and conducting ground breaking research for the good of humanity. - Getting our hands dirty by doing (and not just watching others do). - Continuing our legacy of technical excellence in all endeavors. These are the things that brought many to NASA in the first place, and they continue to be the things that motivate people to stay.
