[00:00:02.130]My name is Vince Orsi.
[00:00:03.720]I'm a mechanical engineering sophomore from Omaha, Nebraska.
[00:00:06.390]I'm currently the mechanical team's lead.
[00:00:09.000]I lead the development of the payload on a satellite,
[00:00:11.940]which holds the Perovskite solar cells.
[00:00:14.640]These Perovskite solar cells
[00:00:15.690]have never been to outer space before.
[00:00:17.010]We're gonna see how they work in space
[00:00:19.470]and if that has any difference.
[00:00:20.970]If there's a difference between how they work in space
[00:00:22.860]and how they work on land.
[00:00:23.910]I've had a lot of
[00:00:25.290]great relationships built through AXP.
[00:00:28.118]I've met a lot of good people, a lot of smart people
[00:00:30.081]who've helped me.
[00:00:32.460]I got an internship actually from one of the members.
[00:00:34.572]He just put in a good word for me.
[00:00:36.972]I think we really made a good connection.
[00:00:39.270]So yeah, it's helped me with my future.
[00:00:41.970]I think it's huge.
[00:00:42.803]We're getting the youth involved
[00:00:43.905]and that in the end, that will just bring more students
[00:00:47.130]to the University of Nebraska if they see what's going on
[00:00:50.070]in this lab,
[00:00:51.233]all the exciting things we're building,
[00:00:53.550]I think that'll drive them to stay in Nebraska
[00:00:55.873]and see what Nebraska engineering, like,
[00:00:58.050]has to offer for people.
[00:00:59.310]I mean, I've never touched something
[00:01:01.290]that's gone to space.
[00:01:02.730]It's just a crazy, crazy feeling, you know?
