👋 Welcome MET Team — From Vince Sanouvong

An aspiring aerospace innovator & dual-domain builder/leader

My vision

My mission is to redefine how we explore, build, and scale innovation beyond Earth's surface. I believe the next generation of aerospace breakthroughs won’t come from one discipline; instead, they’ll come from bold thinkers who can blend engineering precision with entrepreneurial execution. Whether it’s modeling refueling architectures for Artemis missions, designing VTOL aircraft systems, or founding World of Aerospace to interview visionaries like Tory Bruno and Dr. Earl Maize, I’ve always pursued challenges at the intersection of technology and strategy. I’m drawn to the UC Berkeley M.E.T. program because it reflects the mindset I live by: don’t choose between building and leading. Do both. My long-term goal is to launch aerospace ventures that don’t just solve technical problems, but transform entire industries.

Quick Intro

Projects

Each of my projects represents a step toward redefining how we engineer and scale innovation in aerospace. From hands-on rocket design and orbital simulation tools to real-world startup experience and space research, I build at the intersection of deep tech and big vision.

In-Space Refueling Strategies

As part of NASA’s SEES internship, I developed a mission planning tool to evaluate refueling architectures for Artemis III–V lunar missions. The project simulated thousands of mission variants using delta-v maps, propellant mass equations, and abort logic to optimize fuel-efficient transfer paths using supercritical xenon and Solar Electric Propulsion. I also contributed to PMD (propellant management device) bubble venting experiments in microgravity simulations.
