Engineering is the discipline I have chosen for this project. The professor I decided to pick was Masataka Okutsu. His main focuses of research are the design of space missions and flight vehicles. He has worked with NASA in the past on mission studies involving Europa and Cassini. Also he has worked with students on research missions about Mars, and high altitude CubeSat prototypes.
Something I find interesting about Okutsu’s research is human exploration of Mar. I think it would be cool to research things like how the space suit would be designed for survival on Mars, how you would design some type of building or structure for them to live in how how to get it there, and how the spacecraft would be designed to be able to take them there and back. Another thing I find interesting about his research is the design of spacecraft. I think it would be cool to research how they are made, and try to figure out ways to improve them.
