Projects
Design/Build/Fly Competition August 2012 – May 2013
DBF is a radio-controlled aircraft competition is intended to challenge the AIAA student branches of each university to design, build, and fly a remote controlled airplane that can complete specific ground and flight missions.
Team Leader - Responsible for directing meetings, maintaining design schedule, and motivating the team to meet mission objectives. As the result of coordination and teamwork, the team placed 2nd in the internal competition.
Propulsion - Responsible for acquiring and testing of each motor parts and accessories to meet the thrust requirement while minimizing the weight of the motor components and its power source. The total weight of the motor and battery pack combined weigh less than 0.75 lbs - comparable to the top three scores in the international competition consisting of over 80 teams.
Structure - Responsible for designing, cutting, and building the prototypes. Resulted in a timely completion of each prototype.
NASA/SJSU LegoSNAPS Satellite August 2012 – May 2013
Synchronized Network of Autonomous Positioning Satellites (SNAPS) is a research test platform to develop guidance, control, navigation, and propulsion systems for small satellites.
Propulsion - Analysis of thrust capability resulting in overall equalization of thruster output by the use of thrust compensator. Satellite mass reduced by 42 percent, acceleration increased by 70 percent, decreased idle fuel usage by 50 perce...
