Grand Valley State University (MI) profiled the student team that recently returned from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where they tested a device they built for astronauts to use during future space missions. The team was participating in NASA’s Micro-g NExT Design Challenge to design and build a device that addresses a space exploration challenge.
The GVSU team (North Stars) worked on a surface sampling device for astronauts to use to gather and contain multiple samples of surface particles. Tau Bate Jake D. Stephens, MI L 2018, is a member of the North Stars and a product design and manufacturing engineering major. “Astronauts are working with limited resources and tools while they are in space, so we didn’t want to create something complicated and detailed,” said Stephens.
