NASA Exploration and In-Space Services (NExIS)

On-Orbit Servicing Assembly and Manufacturing Mission


All the RRM missions I have been working since the Hubble missions have been intended to funnel technology into this flagship mission to service a satellite in space.  Originally called Restore, then Restore-L, it now incorporates assembly and manufacturing in space and is called OSAM-1.

My role on this mission will be in the area of electrical systems to help guide the overall design of the electrical system.  I started this work in 2019 after the successful conclusion of the RRM3 mission.
