Hi!

My name is Ari Rabinovitz and I am a junior at Cornell University studying Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. I am a member of the Cornell Mars Rover project team, on the arm sub-team. I worked as a research assistant for ASTRA (Advanced Space Technology Research and Architecture) Lab, working on novel propellants for electrospray technologies. I currently work as a research assistant for Cornell Space Structures Lab, assisting in the design of a boom deployment mechanism for ultra lightweight booms.

I have taken numerous engineering courses, including Dynamics, Statics and Mechanics of Solids, Mechanical Synthesis, and Thermodynamics. This school year, I am excited to take classes related to space, including Introduction to Spaceflight Mechanics and Spacecraft Technology and Systems Architecture.
