Tess Casswell, ME Undergraduate - Mechanical Engineer

Tess is a senior in mechanical engineering from Soldotna, Alaska. She began volunteering with the Rocket Project as a sophomore. Her tasks for the SRP include mechanical design and fabrication; her projects have included the enclosure for the TM, various adapter plates, and housings for the pre flight battery chargers. She has also done some work in public relations, designing and publishing a pamphlet on the Student Rocket Project.

 

Tess spends most of her time working with the Solid Works design environment and in the machine shop, building parts - almost all of the hardware for SRP flights is designed and built in-house by the ASRP mechanical team.

Joe Hawkins, EE Professor - Faculty Advisor

Joe Hawkins is the principle faculty associated with the program. He has been working with the student rocket project through most of its lifetime. Joe coordinates student projects and insures that things move smoothly. He is also an excellent resource when things gowrong and guidance is needed. Finally he is the primary communicator with space grant, NASA, WALLOPS and other non-local official enitties.

Bruce Johnson, EE Ph.D candidate - Engineering Coordinator

Bruce will lead the plasma team in supporting his instrument and assure that valuable scientific data is taken with this devise. He will use this flight opportunity to flight qualify changes in this instrument for a future HEX II mission. He will also lead the push for thermal studies of the rocket surface.
