Nawarat Termtanasombat (Waen) - Mechanical Subsystem
Waen has a computer engineering degree with First Class
Honours from Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok,
Thailand. She has experience both within and leading
projects including RoboCup soccer robot, RoboCup
rescue robot and designing an automotive driving car
including the associated programming. This background
has imparted Waen with knowledge of multi-body
dynamics and modelling.
In the team, Waen is responsible for the simulation of the
system. Specifically, she will model the dynamics and
kinematics of the FISH, to determine the acceleration and
position behaviour. From this, the point at which the
reel.SMRT system becomes a viable alternative to drop towers/parabolic flights
shall be determined. She shall also investigate the friction in the system and the
line. Then, the aerodynamic behaviour of the FISH shall be simulated. These
simulation shall build upon an initially simple model, but be upgraded with more
factors over time include wind, reel oscillations and gondola perturbation effects.
Following the mission, the model shall be improved upon using the mission data.
This will enable Waen to more accurately predict the performance of the system
over different drop lengths and with variation of parameters.

Mikulas Jandak – Electrical Subsystem (Manager)
Mikulas is a Round 4 Spacemaster student from the Czech
Republic. He holds a bachelors degree in Electrical
Engineering and Information Technology, specialising in
Cybernetics and Measurement from the Czech Technical
University in Prague. Mikulas has much experience in
electronics, with experience gained through an internship
with the Kolin company.
In the reel.SMRT project, Mikulas is responsible for the
Electrical Subsystem. He is the designer of the Electronics
for the MAIN Payload in the gondola. This includes the
interfacing between the motors and the reel and line guide
as
well as the design of sensor systems and power supply

system.
He shall also be responsible for constructing and
Jandak
testing his designs.
