Prewitt Ridge’s Post

Hello LinkedIn Community, I’m reaching out to see if anyone in my network knows any aerospace engineers interested in joining a groundbreaking project. My company is working on an ambitious initiative, with a target launch in 2028, aimed at solving a problem that is set to become a major challenge by 2030. We’re actively seeking partnerships with key players in the space industry, including NASA and the international space community, to help reimagine the next steps for humanity’s future in space. Exciting updates are coming soon. Let’s connect and explore how we can shape the future together! #space #engineering #innovation #exploration #AerospaceEngineering #FutureEngineers #EngineeringInnovation #SpaceEngineering #RocketScience #AerospaceTech #SatelliteTechnology #SpaceResearch #STEMCareers #SpaceEngineeringOpportunities #HBCUEngineers #HBCUInnovation #BlackEngineers #STEMatHBCUs #HBCUSpace #HBCUTech #NSBE #HBCURising #CaltechEngineers #CaltechAerospace #CaltechSTEM #CalPolyEngineering #CalPolySTEM #CalPolyAerospace #FUNDRAISING #CalTechInnovators #CalPolyInnovation #WomenInSTEM #NextGenEngineers

🌟 Meet Jacob Cordova: Co-Founder & Managing Director of Genesis 🌟 We've all dreamt of it. A place where creativity and engineering collide, where ideas can take flight, literally. Today, we unveil that very space - a testament to relentless spirit. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jacob Cordova, an extraordinary mind from UT Austin. Jacob isn't just another engineer. He's a visionary. He not only spearheaded solutions for NASA's Orion Manned Spaceflight program, keeping our astronauts safe, but then went on to co-found NASA's very first makerspace, the aptly named "Engineering Sandbox." But Jacob doesn't believe in keeping innovation siloed. He built teams at Lockheed Martin for the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program, fostering collaboration between rocket scientists and the brightest minds across industries. He founded Bright Yeti, an epic startup that is changing the world of agriculture with electrophysiology deep tech. His commitment to excellence earned him a place in the Academy of Distinguished Alumni at UT Austin as an Outstanding Young Mechanical Engineer. Jacob is the cofounder and managing director of Genesis, and his journey has been nothing short of revolutionary.

We are eager to contribute to our shared goal of advancing open-access science and improving how we communicate scientific discoveries. Collaboration and innovation are at the heart of this journey, and we can't wait to see the impact we will make together!

🌍🚀 Did you know Jessica Watkins, NASA astronaut, broke barriers in space exploration? As the first Black woman on the International Space Station, her groundbreaking research contributes to understanding the long-term effects of spaceflight on the human body. Cheers to her remarkable contributions! #BlackHistoryMonth #SpaceTrailblazer #boundlesspossibility #juniorachievement #SuccessMindset #FinancialLiteracy #entrepreneurship #JobReady #FutureOfWork #JAWORK$

What a privilege to be involved in New Zealand’s first mission to the International Space Station on NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's SpaceX-30 launch! Two months ago, sending my work to space was not something I ever considered. Today, my microfluidic chips are orbiting Earth. I can trace my involvement in this mission directly to a conversation at the 2023 KiwiNet Awards (afterparty). That led to conversations with researchers from University of Canterbury and University of Otago and resulted in this side-side-project with Vanessa Morris, Christoph Goebl, and Sarah Kessans. What a way to top off the last days of my PhD 🚀🚀🚀 #SpaceExploration #Microfluidics #PhD

Important and powerful information for everyone

Why is it important to test #miniRAS in space? Together with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, we are conducting an experiment that will provide crucial insights into the potential of #RemoteSurgery. Learn more below. #MedTech #Innovation

Students at the University of Colorado Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics can train to become command controllers who operate and manage spacecraft, including NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Imaging X-Ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE). From monitoring IXPE’s health and safety to sending commands to the spacecraft to look at cosmic objects at the request of scientists, these students are getting a one-of-a-kind hands-on experience. https://lnkd.in/gru-mvj4

Just had the incredible opportunity to meet the🚀 WARR Rocketry Team of #students from the Technical University of Munich at #EuRoC23 and the winner of the 🏆Design New Space Award. It's not every day you come across a student team that has built the largest mobile #launchpad for #SRAD rockets! Spending days working with every tool imaginable, their #rocket project NIXUS was a sight to behold - as close to industry standards as it gets. 👉Fast forward three months from #EuRoC, today I had the honor of interviewing Greta Angela Giacomelli, Bernhard Vorhofer, Louis Wiench, Matthias Weiand, and Max Finkl of the 2024 team. Excited to share with you all their latest innovations and what to expect for this year and at #EuRoC24. There's so much to uncover! Stay tuned for a video interview coming soon! https://lnkd.in/dEY5fWSq For those unfamiliar, WARR stands for "Wissenschaftliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Raketentechnik und Raumfahrt", or "Scientific Workgroup for Rocketry and Spaceflight". They're a non-profit student group based at the Technical University Munich, focusing on space-themed projects. With over 200 active student members, WARR is Germany's largest group in this field. They operate in five subgroups: #WARRrocketry (hybrid and liquid rockets), #WARRspaceelevator (space elevator prototypes), #WARRmove (satellites), #WARRspacerobotics (rover concepts), and #WARRspacelabs (microgravity experiments on the ISS). Established in 1962, WARR was formed to supplement the university's theoretical education with practical aerospace experience. A perfect blend of theory and hands-on learning!
