Designed, built, analyzed, tested, brought to production, 420 Watt portable solar array for the Armed Forces. Product packaged in a 10" x 18" x 47" Pelican gun case, weighed a total of 76 lbs, and deployed in under 5 minutes to a 10 foot long solar array. Designed a 50 watt deployable solar array for 3U CubeSat. Developed a locking mechanism for a thin walled composite roll-able slit tube that allows the tube to regain torsional stiffness and bending stiffness, received a Patent for the design. Developed a self deploying thin walled composite roll-able slit tube mechanism. Currently working two composite pressure vessel designs.
