LunaRecycle Challenge Phase 2

• Resources: SolidWorks, Labview, Welding, Testing

I serve as the Team Lead for The Student Space Programs Laboratory team competing in Phase 2 of NASA’s Centennial Challenge, focused on sustainable lunar waste management. My team is developing a modular hardware recycling system capable of processing plastic and metals—into usable feedstock for in-situ manufacturing. I direct the project from initial concept to physical prototype, bridging the gap between Earth-based testing and spaceflight requirements. My focus is on delivering a fully functional terrestrial unit that serves as a validated precursor for lunar operations. This project is being finalized so the resources that I can provide for my portfolio are currently limited.
