Turner to apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stem\/murep\/projects\/ncas.html\">NASA Community College of Aerospace Scholars (NCAS)<\/a> &#8211; an internship program by NASA and Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-mission program challenges students to design and build knowledge and skills by focusing on NASA\u2019s mission goals, collaboration and career pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The internship requires applicants to submit an online portion of design work that undergoes consideration and has the opportunity to visit any NASA site for their experience. Here, Ortiz developed his confidence in design, teamwork and robotics skills at Stennis Mississippi Space Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI met and worked with a great group of people making designs on the fly as a design engineer and by the end of the day, we all bonded by this passion for design and engineering,&#8221; said Ortiz. \u201cIt was here that I gained my first authentic NASA STEM experience and wanted to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz2-1024x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz2-1024x560.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz2-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz2-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jose David Ortiz pictured in Kids Space Place in 2001, visits Space Center Houston for the first time with his father.

These companies of varying sizes will bid on delivering payloads for NASA, including payload integration and operations that launch from Earth and land on the surface of the Moon; all a part of the agency\u2019s broader goal of returning humans to the Moon through <a href=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/exhibits-and-experiences\/artemis-exhibit\/\">Artemis. <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy assignment was dispatched to a vendor, and I gained hands-on experience as a mechanical engineer intern where I designed, rendered, composited and commissioned projects,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I just fell in love with the work because it was the best of all worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That vendor was Intuitive Machines, which Ortiz gained full-time employment after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UH-CL in spring 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy advice to others is to pass along the knowledge because I wouldn\u2019t be here today if I had not allowed myself to take action on the opportunities and advice that were offered,\u201d said Ortiz. \u201cIf you can dream it, you can achieve it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cQuerer es poder,\u201d <\/em>words his mother passed along to him, reminding Ortiz that all possibilities are achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz3-1024x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz3-1024x560.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz3-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz3-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blog-JOrtiz3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Ortiz poses at Space Center Houston\u2019s Kids Space Place (currently under reconstruction) 22 years later as a mechanical engineer with Intuitive Machines LLC.

Working within the integration, assembly and testing department at Intuitive Machines, he designs and manufactures parts that will be assembled onto upcoming lunar missions and quickly adapts when renderings do not go as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEngineering is a very diverse field of work, and it is our responsibility to troubleshoot and ensure that each assembly is installed according to our procedures,\u201d said Ortiz. \u201cI also cross-collaborate with different departments like avionics and propulsion by assembling parts for them. In my expertise, we verify and help design components in-house which has helped me become that Jack of all trades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Intuitive Machines&#8217; Nova-C Lunar Lander replica sits on display in the center\u2019s Main Plaza. The uncrewed lander is a key part of NASA\u2019s Artemis lunar exploration efforts set to launch in June 2023 on the Moon\u2019s south pole region before sending crewed missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Ortiz is not designing lunar spacecraft, he is actively pursuing his master&#8217;s in systems engineering at UH-CL as a part-time graduate assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3;color:#e3e3e3\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#000014;\" class=\"wp-block-post-author has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__content\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__name\">Illiana Luna<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__bio\">Public Relations Specialist, Space Center Houston<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jose David Ortiz, a mechanical engineer with Intuitive Machines, a diversified space company focused on space exploration.
