Michael Bryant
Aerospace Engineer Specializing in Spacecraft and Thermal Analytics
I am an Engineer, Pilot, and Tinkerer—passionate about all elements of the development, manufacturing, and operation of space systems. I develop thermal design solutions for next generation space exploration technologies.
My specialty is the development of thermophysical models of space vehicles, spacecraft subsystems, and avionics modules. I have experience working at some of the worlds oldest space companies (MAXAR Technologies, formerly SSL) and newest (SpaceX, and Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems). I am familiar with best practices that have worked for decades and new techniques that are required to meet the challenges posed by smaller spacecraft, shorter schedules, and ever tightening engineering margins.
By utilizing industry leading tools and a systems approach to thermal engineering, I build physics based models that can rapidly explore design parameter spaces and identify simple thermal design mitigations for any size system.
