At SSDL, I led the R&D of electrical harnessing and power systems for two pioneering CubeSat missions: OrCa2 (launching 2024) and WEBS (launching 2025). OrCa2 seeks to validate object-tracking algorithms for Earth observation in partnership with GTRI. WEBS seeks to test spacecraft-to-spacecraft RF power beaming technology in partnership with the US Space Force, AFRL, and UNP. As the electrical systems lead, I oversaw everything from system design to integration and testing, ensuring mission… Show more At SSDL, I led the R&D of electrical harnessing and power systems for two pioneering CubeSat missions: OrCa2 (launching 2024) and WEBS (launching 2025).
