ABOUT LUIS ANDRADE
Upon receiving my Bachelor\'s degree from Cal Poly Pomona in Aerospace Engineering I immediately went to work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory\'s Autonomous Systems Division as a Guidance & Control Engineer. I had the honor of being the Guidance & Control engineer that designed the final sequence of commands that executed onboard the Cassini spacecraft. I completed a MS in Aerospace Engineering at UCLA, focusing on Dynamical Systems and Control in the Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering department. I most recently joined the GNC team at Terran Orbital, where the fast paced environment has allowed me to greatly sharpen my technical and leadership skills through a balance of (1) software development,(2) hardware testing,(3) data analysis, and (4) customer and vendor interfacing tasks.
