Since March of 2024, I have been one of the Structures Subsystem Leads for the Spacecraft for Optical-based Position Estimation (SCOPE-1) mission of the Texas Spacecraft Laboratory (TSL). This mission is in collaboration with UT Austin graduate Researchers, NASA CubeSat Space Launch Initiative (CSLI) and NASA Small Spacecraft Technology Program (SSTP).
As a Structures Lead Engineer, I am responsible for the structural and physical component integration of the entire CubeSat Bus. This has required active collaboration with other subsystem leads and members to effectively develop and manage the full CAD assembly using Solidworks CAD to verify CubeSat Design Specifications (CDS) compliance and component fitment. I have also conducted trade studies for the selection of important components, such as the Mechanical Ground System Equipment (MGSE) and primary structure, ensuring mission requirements and deadlines are successfully met.

Unfortunately, due to ITAR, Export Control, and NDA restrictions, I am unable to provide images of this project.
