Universal Payload Racking System

Overview

I was brought onboard to undertake the feasibility study, which involved me reaching out to members of the space industry, and developing requirements and constraints for our product.

Initial Concept

These designs lead to a preliminary concept that I prototyped at 10% scale. Fig 1

Manufactured Prototypes

Manufacturing was done jointly between Marand and RMIT, with myself the primary contact for design queries. Fig 1 Fig 1

Sierra Space

After my travel to america for Spaceport America Cup I had the opportunity to work at Kennedy Space Centre with our partner organisation Sierra Space and see my design loaded up into their LIFE module. Fig 1

I was also lucky enough to get a tour of the centre and see both the Artemis I in the flesh and my first ever orbital launches. Fig 1
