Arthur Guest is currently a visiting student in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is working with the Space Architecture Group on projects to assist with architecture analysis of human missions to the Moon and Mars.
In 2005, Arthur graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of British Columbia with a specialty in thermo-dynamics and fluid dynamics along with 16 months of experience in aircraft design. That summer, Arthur attended the International Space University's Summer Session Program in his home town of Vancouver. This experience was followed by completing a Master's degree with the International Space University in Strasbourg, France. As part of the degree requirements, he was able to work at NASA's Johnson Space Center on the conceptual development of the new lunar lander.
Apart from his interest in human space exploration, Arthur is an avid pilot and scuba diver with over 100 hours of flight time and over 500 dives. He is also an avid traveler having visited all continents except for Antarctica (for now). Arthur currently lives in Boston with his fiancée Lindsey.
