NERV's Interns | Design by Nature
The Challenge | Design by Nature
Design an autonomous free-flyer to inspect a spacecraft for damage from Micro-Meteoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD).
Astrodermis
A low-cost approach to localizing and characterizing MMOD damage for spacecraft
Overview
- Addressed several high-level concerns of MMOD impact detection and characterization
- Innovative use of low-cost technologies for highest return in information
- Designed a system of triaging concerns, enabling more off-ground, non-human reparations
