Team Bio

Our team is made up of Aerospace, Mechanical, and Electrical engineers. We are an ambitious group of extremely motivated students, who are seeking to design, build, and test a highly capable Mars Rover.

Steven Medico

All my life, I've had a love for space and engineering. As a senior in aerospace engineering at Florida Tech, I've been able to expand on such passions. It's been extremely fulfilling and enjoyable to apply what I've learned in the classroom over the last four years to the designs for our Mars Rover.

William McKinnon

My name is William I'm a senior at Florida Institute of Technology studying computer Engineering. Additionally I'm in the Army ROTC program here at the school and look forward to putting my engineering knowledge to use for the Unitied States Army upon graduation.

Jennifer Geehan

Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by space and the exploration of it. I am currently a senior at Florida Institute of Technology majoring in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Flight Technology. I enjoy being able to learn things in class and then apply them to the real world, whether it be in flight lessons or building a Mars Rover.



Joseph Horn

My name is Joe and I am currently a senior at Florida Institute of Technology studying Aerospace Engineering. The Mars Rover senior design project allows me to get a preview of what hands-on experience is for an engineer and it is the perfect project to test my skills acquired over my previous years of study as well as to expand upon them.

Vicente Aycart

My name is Vicente, and I'm a senior at Florida Tech studying Aerospace Engineering. My passions are the space sciences and engineering.

Currently, I am working on the structural and propulsive systems of the rover and I will be glad to answer any question regarding my sections. I have enjoyed working and learning with this team of top-level students so far.





Bonolo Mpabanga

My name is Bonolo Mpabanga, and I'm a senior at Florida Institute of Technology studying Aerospace Engineering. I have been interested in the world of Physics and Engineering since high school and since then its been such an incredible learning journey. My passion is in Control Systems and Aeronautical Engineering and its been extremely exciting to be able to apply what I have learned thus far in building the Mars Rover.





Joseph Miller

My name is Joey, and I'm a senior at Florida Tech studying aerospace engineering.



Katarina

My name is Katarina Vuckovic. I am a senior student at Florida institute of Technology. I am a double major in Aerospace and Electrical Engineering. I am interested in the controls area. After graduating, I am planning to to my masters degree in controls.

Rafael Almeida
