Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Bury is an astrodynamics and mission design engineer with nine years of experience focused on solar system exploration, currently working at Advanced Space after several mission-design roles at JPL. He holds advanced studies in astrodynamics from the University of Colorado Boulder supported by a NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship studying low-energy landings on icy moons like Europa and Enceladus. Luke combines hands-on mission planning and flight software experience—ranging from MER test-bed operations and CubeSat sequencing tools to Europa Clipper planning—with systems modeling and hardware integration from satellite work at Texas Spacecraft Lab. He has a track record of turning research into operational tools and procedures that support long-duration and resource-constrained missions. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, he blends deep technical rigor with practical mission delivery experience across government and commercial teams. An uncommon strength is his lasting focus on low-velocity landing dynamics, a niche that bridges theoretical astrodynamics and mission-enabling engineering.
