This page details my work completed with Dr. Zagrai on a research payload to be flown on the International Space Station. I modeled and machined an experimental payload frame that is capable of multiple guided wave experiments while on the ISS-MISSE platform.

What	How	Results
Payload design for PZT experiments on ISS MISSE-22	Electronic compartment design and sizing	Safe to fly constructed payload for Guided wave research
Electronic housing and manufacturing	Thermal and mechanical verification in COMSOL, validated with lab testing	Verified FEA models for Low Earth Orbit
