![🛰️CALGARYTOSPACE AWARDS: "Mission Critical"🛰️
Yuki Zhou (@jint.onicram ), a committed structural team member and our Safety Officer, was recognized as being “Mission Critical”. She is highly involved in manufacturing components for the project, including the replica P-POD featured on our page.
Yuki joined the team about 1.5 years ago and is currently on her internship year of a Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering degree, working at NovAtel HEXAGON (@hexagon_ab ).
As an adept communicator, organizer, and machinist, it is no wonder Yuki was nominated by so many of her peers for this award. The meaning of the “Mission Critical” award is that the team couldn’t have succeeded in all endeavours without her!
According to Yuki, potential new members shouldn’t be intimidated to join CalgaryToSpace:
“Sending satellites [to space] sounds very difficult and some people are scared to jump into the world. However, once you join the team, you cannot stop yourself from learning new things and you will find yourself growing after a couple of months!”
She speaks to the professional doors opened by joining the team:
“You will learn how to manage time while working with the team as a full-time student. Especially if you want to work in a unique engineering industry (ex. Aerospace), the experience at CalgaryToSpace is for you.”
And her own motivations for joining: “I do not think there is that much opportunity in my life to send something to space so I really want to be a part of this. I was also getting bored to just go to school and take lectures since I wanted to get more hands-on experience.”
Check out more of her insights in the slides of this post!
