Cutter Shea: NASA Engineering, Digital Twins, Asteroids, Simulations, Drones, LiDAR, Sales

If you thought an autographed sports card or concert poster was cool, how about a NASA satellite?!Cutter Shea is one of very few who have penned their name on such a surface. Re/Capped in issue #40, his engineering prowess and broad technical knowledge led to his signature being riveted to the side of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx satellite, which leaned heavily on digital twins. This was the first U.S. mission to collect an asteroid sample with hopes of knowledge regarding our solar system, and the origins of life. Cutter joins Ellis Malmgren in studio for the whole story: NASA, motors & gearboxes, Lockheed, model-based systems engineering, digital twins & simulations, aerospace misconceptions, his journey to Cintoo, DJI and drones, the cloud, LiDAR, what most people don’t get about sales, and theories on last year’s mass drone sightings.
