Hunter Singh

Hunter Singh is a PhD student in the Aerospace Department at the University of baby直播app Boulder and is the Electrical Design Team Leader for the FLARE project. I am leading Artemis efforts at Northrop. I help NASA overcome some of the key challenges facing the campaign. I have recently run my own analog in the California high desert called CRADLE where I've been performing research on tele robotics, microbial growth, regolith substrate for radish growth, bioastronautic brahmanaut studies (applying eastern knowledge to the Mars mission), human robotic solar sintering, human construction techniques using robotic filled sand bags, suit port designs, and more recently at Northrop I've been leading IRAD efforts on crew displays, open vs close loop eclss systems and human assisted large habitable volume construction.
