Work in Progress
Microplastic Sampler
Co-led the development of Microplastic Sampler from proposal to payload design and build
Engaged as main electrical engineer by creating and managing all electrical diagrams and leading circuit development through soldering. Additionally, I assisted in selecting materials for the payload design to prevent components from contaminating the sample and ensure functionality at extreme temperatures of -40 to -70 degrees Celsius.
There are three sensors on the payload: Ozone, CO2, and methane, to gather data during ascent and descent. The sampling box is opened and shut through a stepper motor-actuated rack and pinion system. The system is ensured shut through an additional magnet on the back face of the sampling box.
The payload will operate autonomously at 70,000 feet and execute a set of actions coded in Python.
This project was also presented at a virtual symposium with NASA officials in attendance.
