2024 AIAA Student Project Presentations
To all AIAA Adelaide members,
Come this Friday (15th of November, 2024) to our annual student project presentations and see what amazing work local engineering honours students have produced!
Each year the Adelaide Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics sponsors a few final year projects to support local university students. As part of this sponsorship we require that the students present their work to the Section and any members of the public who wish to join.
The student groups presenting include:
- Presenters: Georgia Dallimore, Grace Gunner, Callie Hopwood, Fida Matin, Amber Pegoli
- Title: "Microspine Anchoring Mechanisms for Exploration of Small Celestial Bodies"
- Abstract: Microspines are anchoring mechanisms that improve mobility of robotic systems navigating extreme terrain, such as asteroid surfaces. This project advanced literature in space-simulant environmental testing of an additively manufactured microspine design, and successfully integrated arrays of this microspine into an omnidirectional robotic end effector for asteroid-simulant surface anchoring performance evaluation.
- Presenter: Joshua Mullins
- Title: "Small Satellite Design for Debris Impact Resilience"
- Abstract: This project looks at alterations that can be made to the design of small satellites for the purposes of increasing their resilience to physical debris impacts. This project quantifies and models the space debris issue and impact scenarios to lay out options for satellite protection
