DEMI (Debris Elimination and Management Instrument): A Novel Solution for Space Debris<br />
Removal. Space debris poses a serious threat to the safety and sustainability of orbital activities.<br />
To address this challenge, we designed DEMI, a collection mechanism that can capture and store<br />
multiple pieces of small debris in low Earth orbit (LEO). DEMI works with a two stage capture<br />
system: an outer aperture that encloses the debris, and an inner door that seals it inside a storage<br />
chamber. DEMI can be easily attached to the ESPA Star satellite bus, which provides the<br />
necessary power, propulsion, and communication systems. DEMI is made of space grade<br />
materials with the ability to add space-grade shielding to withstand the harsh environment of<br />
space.<br />

Deadliftr<br />

Advisor: Yevgeniy Yesilevskiy<br />
The Deadliftr is a device featuring a wireless curvature sensor, worn in a pocket of a<br />
compression shirt, that sends real time feedback to the user’s phone regarding their back position<br />
and deadlifting technique. The design is built using a 3D printer, and curvature is measured with<br />
a series of potentiometers. Our aim is to ensure users are deadlifting within a safe range of back<br />
curvature, and to provide useful live feedback to the user as they lift.<br />
