LEAPFROG Lunar Lander Project Invitation to Submit Resumes for Spring 2007 Team Members
Fri, Dec 14, 2007
Information Sciences Institute
Student Activity
USC Astronautics and Space Technology Division (ASTD) and Information Sciences Institute (ISI) will work in the 2008 Semester on continuation of the next generation vehicle development and flight testing of a lunar lander prototype vehicle.We are looking for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in All Engineering Disciplines to join the flight team. We are also looking for one outstanding candidate to serve as the Marketing/Business Manager for the team and the project.This is a two-semester project, continuing from the Fall Semester. Students involved may enroll in ASTE 291, ASTE 491 or Directed Research. (3-unit directed research roughly corresponds to a 9-hr/week work.) Students will be competitively selected for this project.The overall goal of the project is development and flight testing a lunar lander prototype vehicle, powered by a jet engine. The vehicle will then be flown repeatedly to test out multiple landing profiles and different descent and landing sensors. Each student of the flight test project will work within a subsystem area as well as gain system knowledge of flight vehicle design and test. This is a "hands on" project, you will be expected to participate in actual construction and integration of the flight test article, within a team environment.The lunar lander prototype vehicle project will be supervised by David Barnhart, Associate Director of the Space Engineering Research Center (SERC) from USC's Information Sciences Institute (ISI), and Professor Joseph Kunc of ASTD. If interested, please send an e-mail to David Barnhart (barnhart@isi.edu) and cc Joseph Kunc (kunc@usc.edu) with attached one-page resume. David will kickoff next semesters project activities the first week of January.

Spacecraft Design Project Invitation for Spring 2008 Team Members
Fri, Dec 14, 2007
Information Sciences Institute
Student Activity
USC Astronautics and Space Technology Division (ASTD) and Information Sciences Institute (ISI) is working an intensive multi-semester design activity for a low cost low earth orbit satellite mission to address important science objectives relative to earth and climate science. This effort includes the opportunity to work with a major aerospace company.We are looking for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Astronautical Engineering (ASTD), Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME), Electrical Engineering (EE) and Systems Engineering (ISE) to join the flight team. The specific disciplines we are looking to support include attitude determination and control, electrical power systems, telemetry/tracking and control, thermal, mechanical and electrical ground station equipment design, flight software development, hardware in the loop testing, avionics and command and data handling development, and assembly/integration and test.There will be varying levels of student participation in the project (enrollment in ASTE 291, ASTE 491 or Directed Research, as well as other opportunities, including compensation).Students will be competitively selected for this project and will work with External industrial team members and mentors in each subsystem. This project is managed and run out of ISI in Marina del Rey, travel to ISI will be required at least once per week to support. Additionally, the project will require ITAR training ISI.The project will be supervised by David Barnhart, Associate Director of the Space Engineering Research Center (SERC) and Professor Joseph Kunc of ASTD. If interested, please send an e-mail to David Barnhart (barnhart@isi.edu) and cc Joseph Kunc (kunc@usc.edu) with attached one-page resume. David will kickoff the project and interview applicants the first week of January 2008.
