<< [ DAVID MACKLER ]
Team Leader
Senior
- Lead Structural Engineer
David
has been the lead designer of the physical structure of the Mars
Deployable Greenhouse. Through extensive use of mechanical, structural,
and engineering skills, he has managed to develop the ideas of the
team into a feasible design. Pro/Engineer has been an invaluable,
if not unforgiving, tool in this process. David has also done extensive
work on the orbital mechanics and landing systems.

[ PABLO MARTINEZ ] >>
Senior
- Orbital and Landing Mechanics Engineer
Pablo
has worked meticulously on the orbital mechanics of the incoming
spacecraft and its landing maneuvers. By carefully researching
and learning, Pablo has been able to determine the necessary engines,
parachutes, and other transit components.

<< [ LESLIE NOVAK ]
Senior
- Hydroponics and Fluid Systems Engineer
Leslie
has been the sole Hydroponics and Fluid Systems specialist. She
has worked vigorously and with clear determination to design feasible
and satisfactory hydroponic bays. Using her knowledge of crop properties
and the help of other team members, Leslie was able to design the
bi-level growing bays that will hold the growing crops. She also
worked intensively to properly design the piping system that will
carrying the vital water supply to the plants and circulate it around
the bays.

[ WILLIAM SAID ] >>
Senior - Computer Network System Specialist
The shear complexity of the CERES mission
requires an extensive computer network system. Will has worked
tirelessly to develop a sufficient computer network that will
be able to handle the large amounts of data moving from point
to point. With many contacts in a wide range of production companies,
Will has been able to obtain cutting edge, yet tested, component
information that will be invaluable to the mission. He has organized
the Logic, and Systems, designs for the network and has managed
to adapt the new technology to the time-standard systems already
proven.

<< [ JENNIFER SHIRLEY ]
Senior - Lighting Specialist
One of the most important factors in the
CERES mission is to keep the crops alive. Besides water, the lighting
in the growth compartments must be designed sufficiently to achieve
optimal results. Jennifer has done lengthy research into viable
lightning systems. Various design schemes included lamps and wavelength-specific
LEDs.

[ STEVE WELLS ] >>
Senior - Environmental Controls and Sensors
Specialist
Steve has been able to efficiently design
the various components that are required to maintain a human-accessible
habitat in the greenhouse. By obtaining the necessary information
from the various subsystems, Steve is also able to perform a complex
thermal analysis on the structure. He has also been involved in
the selection and development of an efficient sensor data collection
system.
