Ethan Wood-Thomas | Mechanical Engineering

Worked on the structural team for contracted satellites at SpaceX. Designed and manufactured a test setup to determine the maximum exclusion angle from the sun for star-tracking cameras. Created an inexpensive and effective solution that minimized straylight in the test environment. 

Analyzed and tested multiple components necessary to transport the satellites to the launch site.

Tested solar arrays for debris during deployment and analyzed the risks of potential debris.
