Reef Collins is a senior at the University of Central Florida focused on space operations and the goal of becoming a Flight Director at NASA. Combining an academic background in computational atmospheric modeling with hands-on mission architecture, his work centers on the operational realities of human spaceflight. He is currently designing and developing time-delayed communication protocols and symmetrical asynchronous broadcast (SAB) infrastructure for the NASA Haughton-Mars Project on Devon Island, High Arctic, creating the analog environments and tools necessary to explore the limits of asynchronous mission control and Earth-independent operations (EIO).
