I am is very time flexible "retired" MIT aerospace/system engineer who enjoys exploring aerospace concepts and framing them for review and discussion. For the past few years I have worked with others to create entries for crowdsourced technical contests, winning over 5 for NASA (from 1st to 4th place). I emphasize visual analysis and communication, using CAD to produce 3D visualizations or information intensive single slide treatments (that seems to be a NASA favorite). If needed, I can program javascript based analysis, simulations and dynamic 3D models (using three.js). Bringing in my MBA side, I keep aware of the space industry overall, which helps me in costing out ideas and estimating ROIs. Happy to get things rolling with free brainstorming. I mod a number of Reddit subs, such as [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] under /u/perilun and /u/widgetblender. BTW: I go by Jeff

NASA Orbital Alchemy Challenge First Place Win We adapted asteroid mining concepts to breaking down and processing large abandoned satellites in LEO. WidgetBlender submitted SAFER (Satellite After Fully Enclosed Recycler) which included a summary of Crointel's BioLeach that proposed a solution to use reflected solar energy to break down, sort and refine parts of large satellites into useful inputs to other LEO operations. Winning submission available on request.

Second Place, Supporting Team Crointel Trash-to-gas reactors are considered a sustainable approach to both near- and long-term waste management during long-duration space missions. The primary goal of this challenge was to create actionable design concepts for ash removal from a trash-to-gas reactor in microgravity. WidgetBlender supported Crointel with extensive device engineering and visualization collaboration. Visualization examples available on request.
