I am currently starting my master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the Louvain School of Engineering. As the astronomer of the crew, I will make observations of solar flares as well as various celestial objects thanks to the absence of light pollution in the middle of the Utah desert.
Ignacio’s project:
Ignacio Experiment
3D printing is a relatively new technology with endless possibilities! Easily scalable and transportable, future marstronauts will undoubtedly bring multiple 3D printers to our sister planet. My experiment will consist of 3D printing scaffolds in bio-ink to seed stem cells and then perform mechanical stress-strain tests on the resulting micro-architecture.
