Graduate Student: Christopher Jones, M.S. Candidate, Ga Tech
Research Project: Exploration Vehicle Systems Analysis and Engineering
University Advisor: Prof. Alan Wilhite, Aerospace Engineering, Ga Tech
NASA Mentor: John Korte, Vehicle Analysis Branch, Systems Analysis and Concepts Directorate (SACD)
The project involves the in modeling of advanced exploration systems. The research activities will include developing system and subsystems models for vehicle concepts that are part of future human Lunar and Mars architectures currently under study by NASA as a part of the Vision for Space Exploration. The research may also include developing better modeling tools and methods to support concept development.
