Spaceship ECSAT second generation

This photo features the second generation of Spaceship ECSAT interns with the Spaceship ECSAT coordinator Romain Charles. The second generation includes Matas Vertelka, Joseph MacKay and Ahid Chenno Ruiz.

Matas analysed how the proposed Argonaut lander could impact the lunar surface when landing to identify measures to protect the Moon’s environment; Ahid created a virtual reality lunar environment designed to test how a remote manipulator could be used to carry out tasks on the Moon; and Joseph developed an innovative remotely controlled robotic hand, or “end effector”, for in-orbit servicing and lunar activities.
