Designing a Space Mission in Ten Days

Описание: In July 2018 I attended the European Space Agency's Alpbach Summer School in Austria, where we had to design a sample return mission to a small body (asteroid, comet, etc) in ten days. It was as fulfilling as it was exhausting, and I'm so proud of what my team and I accomplished during this time.

My name is Lucy Kissick. I'm an almost-third year PhD student at the University of Oxford, where I work in the Department of Earth Sciences creating Martian lakes in the lab that are sadly too small to swim in. I love cats more than people and I think I love Pluto more than Mars, but don't tell anyone that.
