Who am I?
I am Vince Sanouvong, a high-school aerospace engineer, NASA SEES intern, and founder of World of Aerospace. I started this platform to bridge the gap between curiosity and career, helping students from all backgrounds see themselves in space. Through interviews with NASA leaders, hands-on rocket design, and sustainable mission research, I’ve turned passion into projects and projects into purpose.
"To engineer the future of space, we must first engineer access to it."

About the Project
We want to inspire individuals and educate people about the world of aerospace around them. From commercial aircraft to international space stations, we hope to be a place of knowledge and inform people. Soon, we will provide blogs, videos, real-life interactives, simulations, games, and community forums. Together, we're building a space where exploration meets education, creating connections between individuals and the universe of aerospace.
Purpose
Our Goal
The focus of this project is to explore the advancements made within the aerospace and aviation industries. My goal is to explore the environmental impact of air travel and the aerospace industry, and to provide information on exciting emerging technologies in aerospace engineering.
Managing Partner
My name is Srimann Nambakkam. I am a graduating senior at Carroll Senior High School and an incoming aerospace engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. As an incoming aerospace engineering student, I have a diverse set of interests including space sciences, spacecraft materials, and jet propulsion. Last summer, I was a NASA SEES intern where I conducted lunar research under the mentorship of NASA scientist Dr. Ernest Lewis. This past December, I presented my research at the American Geophysical Union Conference 2024 in Washington D.C., providing me the incredible oppurtunity to converse with aerospace professionals from across the globe. My love for aerospace engineering is a branch of my love for STEM, and I have loved exploring the disciplines of STEM within the World of Aerospace!
