UND SUITS Project - Team Northern Lights

UND S.U.I.T.S. Project - TEAM NORTHERN LIGHTS

We are Team Northern Lights from the University of North Dakota’s Department of Space Studies. We have been accepted into NASA Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (NASA S.U.I.T.S.) Design Challenge.

We will be developing a spacesuit informatics system utilizing augmented reality (AR) to help astronauts become more efficient and effective during Spacewalks.
We will put together a working AR prototype, as well as a robust outreach program within which the team will focus on NASA program outreach and STEM education within the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts organizations.
An on-site prototype test week will take place at the NASA Johnson Space Center in late May with fellow teams that include MIT, UC Davis, UC Riverside and more.
Team Northern Lights is composed of both on-campus and online students from around the country.
Dr. Pablo de León is our faculty advisor and Space Studies Graduate Student Shannon Forrey is the Student Team Coordinator. Team members are Space Studies Graduate Students Anamika, Lukasz Antoniak, Joseph Clift, Brandon Martin, Steven Newcomb, Anima Patil-Sabale; Rakesh Balaji Rakesh, Catherine Taylor and Prabhu Victor and Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Seniors Stefan Tomovic and Nelio Batista.
