- [00:00:15.495]So we do design challenges
- [00:00:16.433]through the Micro-Gene X program at NASA,
- [00:00:18.248]that is the reduced gravity office.
- [00:00:20.213]They have a series of designs
- [00:00:21.878]that they are requesting for, kind of,
- [00:00:23.510]prototype type ideas for NASA,
- [00:00:25.018]for them to generate new ideas of how to solve some
- [00:00:27.597]of the problems they have with current programs.
- [00:00:30.654]So, this is the Orion Space Capsule,
- [00:00:32.503]they're looking for, on the Astro Direct mission,
- [00:00:35.417]to connect the two space vehicles.
- [00:00:38.151]In a couple weeks, we'll take this down
- [00:00:39.767]to Johnson Space Center, to the Neutral Buoyancy Lab.
- [00:00:41.717]They'll have someone suited up
- [00:00:42.922]and will actually use our tool
- [00:00:44.276]and evaluate how good it is.
- [00:00:45.924]A lot of companies actually consider this
- [00:00:47.805]an internship experience,
- [00:00:48.921]so if they request two to three years
- [00:00:50.441]or request at least one prior internship before going in,
- [00:00:53.677]this actually counts, since it is a multidisciplinary team,
- [00:00:57.465]not only just engineering, but we also have other technical,
- [00:01:00.559]and even non-technical, included on the teams.
- [00:01:03.264]It helps that for a team dynamic.
- [00:01:05.361]So, they know, when you step into a design team,
- [00:01:07.098]how does that actually function?
- [00:01:08.515]People think they know design
- [00:01:09.466]until they actually get down and do it.
- [00:01:11.232]And it's not bad that you don't know anything about design
- [00:01:13.609]before coming in, but it's definitely a learning experience
- [00:01:15.801]to see what needs to be done
- [00:01:18.029]and, mainly, it's the questions that you ask.
- [00:01:20.116]And that's big on communication.
