At just
18 years old, Canberra student Lochie Ferrier has already conducted research in
a frontier field -aerospace(宇航工业) engineering. Aerospace engineering is the
primary 1 of
engineering concerned with the science and technology of aircraft and
spacecraft.
In 2014,
he was one of 80 high school students worldwide who 2 a six-week science and engineering program at
MIT. During the program, he was 3 by the institute's scientists, and developed a
method to identify inactive satellites. This method, called OASIS, is designed 4 a way to
help manage space debris (碎片), which 5 operating satellites. "One solution to
this problem is a 6 robot that can gather pieces of space debris
and store them in orbit," he says. "These pieces could be 7 to new
satellites later thus 8 the costs and launch weights of new
satellites." However, 9 satellite identification technology would be
needed for this solution, and that's what Lochie is working on. "I hope
this method would be put into 10in the near future, saying the next 10 years,"
he says.
Lochie
has made the 11 of the Young Innovators category(类别) of the Australian
Innovation(创新) Challenge Awards with his OASIS. This category is open to
students aged 21 years or 12 and carries a $ 5,000 prize. If he won, he
would use the money to help fund 13 research into OASIS. "My plan for using
the money would be to try to use materials which could stand up to the 14 environment of space," he says.
He is
also considering how to 15the technology to
organizations such as NASA and satellite manufacturers.
Lochie's16 in
aerospace engineering was aroused by the big dish antenna(碟形天线) at NASA's tracking
station near Canberra, which he visited in his early teens. He said his
software design and development teacher at Canberra Grammar School 17 him, too.
"He taught me valuable project management and skills which I applied to
OASIS."
Lochie
has been 18 Canberra Grammar School and will soon sit
exams for admission to universities. He 19 his time among schoolwork, his personal 20 projects
such as OASIS and the development of apps, rock climbing, and playing classical
violin. The teenager is well on his way to realizing his sky-high ambition.
