These are categorized by monetary concerns, mechanical efficiency and increased safety. The Blue Origin Clinic team designed, manufactured, and tested a URM concept to address these needs. The URM should mechanically attach an umbilical panel in the loading environments leading up to T-0 and quickly disconnect consistently without inducing loading on the vehicle.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Origin Engineering, 2024\u201325 Liaison(s): Mark Abrams, Andy Zerfas Advisor(s): Gordon Krauss Students(s): Isabelle Kemp (TL-S), Henry Connell (TL-F), Oliver [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[742],"class_list":["post-14484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","tag-blue-origin"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14484"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14529,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14484\/revisions\/14529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
