Spaceship ECSAT first generation

This photo features the first generation of Spaceship ECSAT interns with Spaceship ECSAT coordinator Romain Charles. The first generation included Isha Parvaiz, Marco San Brunone, Zara Hamilton, Joe Louca, and Filip Hanuš.

Isha and Zara focused on developing digital simulations with potential lunar applications, with Isha creating a virtual reality training tool that enables people to operate a digital replica of a robotic arm and Zara creating a digital twin for lunar 3D printing.

Filip and Joe focused on the remote manipulation of regolith on the Moon, with Filip building a prototype end-effector optimised for the handling of lunar material and Joe addressing the time-delay challenges of operating a remote manipulator on the Moon.

Marco focused on in-orbit servicing and manufacturing, and built a prototype robotic hand for capturing satellites in orbit.
