Why NFT’s?
NFT Opensea collection here.Spatial.io virtual exhibition here. My very first sci-fi inspired digital artwork exhibition was recently published as a collection of NFT's on the Opensea platform, using Polygon crypto. As I share it with the public, the question of 'why NFT's' deserves a thoughtful response. I had the same question before I started,
New spatial ergonomics
Using the free-floating human body as the starting point for spacecraft ergonomics is the most stark example of human-centric design, where the environment challenges our traditional thinking. I love this because it applies to the metaverse, to VR/AR and to HCI. Gravity, distance and augmentation should be considered in the design of SD/UX
InfinitiOne: Launch, landing and beer yeast.
What a ride! Six months in the making, we finally launched our Infiniti One plywood Cubesat on Saturday at 13:00, starting a chase for the High Altitude Balloon that carried it 326.86 km from The Hague to Luxembourg, shooting through the Ozone layer 24,735 m into the stratosphere where the balloon burst, coming
Strat-sat progress: camera rig
"Pictures, or it didn't happen!", so the saying goes.

Design Thinking and Smallsat constellation business opportunities
“What is a Smallsat constellation, and what can we do with it?” Combining my love for Space and my expertise in business transformation was an opportunity I could not pass, so when Spaceway approached me to answer this question for an audience of engineers, researchers and those working in the advanced technology industries in a webinar/workshop format, how could I refuse? As
3D Cubesat Structure designs
I have no patience, so when it was time to get my 2D designs into 3D, I was looking for something fast. Many years ago I knew how to use Maya, and I had started learning Blender, Solidworks, CATIA and Fusion360
