<div>Help Me Represent UTK at a National Aerospace Conference in Boston! ️
</div>
<div>Hi! My name is Jacob Ralston, and I’m an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, majoring in Aerospace Engineering through the MABE Department (Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This August, I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to present my research at a national aerospace conference in Boston, MA! I’m reaching out for your support to help make this trip possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>️ What I’m Presenting:
</div>
<div>My research, titled
</div>
<div>“Multi-Probe Explorations of Trans-Neptunian Objects Using a Single Launch Vehicle,”
</div>
<div>focuses on cost-efficient mission architecture to explore distant objects beyond Neptune. This work aims to demonstrate how a single launch vehicle can deploy multiple probes to expand our understanding of the outer solar system.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s an exciting step in my academic journey and a major milestone toward my future career in space exploration.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why I Need Your Help:
</div>
<div>Attending this conference involves travel and registration costs that I’m currently unable to cover on my own. I’m raising $2,600 to help pay for:
</div>
<div>✈️ Airfare
</div>
<div>Lodging
</div>
<div>️ Registration fees
</div>
<div>Local transportation
</div>
<div>️ Meals
</div>
<div>Any extra funds will be put directly toward my tuition for the upcoming semester.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is more than a trip. It’s a chance to represent my school, connect with professionals, and gain real-world experience that will shape my future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re willing to support a first-generation college student chasing the stars, I’d be deeply grateful. No amount is too small, and even sharing this page makes a difference!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in me,
</div>
<div>– Jacob Ralston
