Third-year mechanical engineering student Ozzy Sanchez-Aldana is the first in his family to pursue a bachelor’s degree. But the 21-year-old Mexican American has much higher ambitions – to one day work in NASA’s space exploration division. He now heads the payload team in the UAV Forge project, working to create an unmanned aerial vehicle for an annual international competition held in Maryland. The undergraduate-led group aims to build a quadcopter that can carry an object to a specific target on a flight path on other planets.
