    • Thermal & Environmental Controls: Evaluation of thermal architectures
      designed for extreme lunar eclipses, long thermal soak periods, and deep-space sinks (using thermal modeling tools like Thermal Desktop).
    • High-Propulsion: Technical oversight of liquid bipropellant, monopropellant, or high-power electric propulsion (EP) systems required for lunar orbit insertion and station keeping.
    • Avionics & Flight Software: Review of rad-hard FPGAs, power processing units (PPU), and flight software framework architectures (e.g., NASA, cFS, VxWorks, RTOS) featuring autonomous fault management.
