NASA Astrobiology Mobile Interface (NAMI)
Project Overview
The goal of the NASA Astrobiology Mobile Interface (NAMI) is to detect biosignatures by surveying a Martian cave site, as any evidence of microbial life would be essential to proving life is sustainable for future manned missions.
This project was completed as part of the NASA L’Space Mission Concept Academy in the Summer 2022 session. Based on a given mission directive, the team proposed a preliminary desing review (PDR). I primarily functioned as the project manager and contributed to the vehicle design for this project.
About NASA L’Space MCA
Mission Concept Academy is a free, online, and student-workforce development program offered through the Arizona State University open to undergraduate STEM students interested in pursuing a career with NASA or other space organizations.
For 12 weeks, you work with a team of students to design a mission-related team project. Students can expect to learn NASA mission procedures and protocols from industry professionals as they collaborate with fellow team members to complete mission-related team-projects.
