The project

The Draper Asteroid Sample Harvester (DASH) incorporates Draper's positioning and navigation technologies within a conceptual spacecraft designed for asteroid sample retrieval missions. I acted as the lead Industrial Designer on the project in collaboration with Draper's Industrial Design Manager Robert de Saint Phalle, and Visual Designer Garrett Brown.
