Stephen A. Daire is an Eagle Scout, OA Vigil Honor, Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity brother, full cave diver, scientific diver, NAUI scuba instructor, Explorer’s Club member, CONFERS collaborating member, and owner of Protean Industries. He holds a BSc in Evolutionary Anthropology from Rutgers University, an MSc in Geographic Information Science & Technology from the University of Southern California, and is completing an MSc in Systems Engineering with Johns Hopkins University. Stephen’s work focuses on aerospace and ocean systems engineering for underwater exploration, surveying, and planetary sciences using VR, robotics, 3D printing, and machine learning. He has eight years of management experience in remote sensing, robotics, surveying, mapping, and excavating with groups around the world. Stephen is the HMS Agamemnon shipwreck co-director for the National Geographic Society and has produced 3D models of the ships remains. Stephen is the robotics and 3D mapping advisor for a US Navy History and Heritage Command shipwreck in the Potomac River. Stephen conducted coral reef microplastic laser scanning & tagging H. griseus sharks for the Explorer’s Club Expedition #211 in Roatan, Honduras. The project identified ocean plastic hotspots related to the Honduras gyre at -2000 feet sea level via submersible. Stephen is the Communications Co-Chair of The Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations (CONFERS). CONFERS is a DARPA seed-funded industry-led initiative leveraging best practices to research, develop, and publish non-binding, consensus-derived standards for satellite on-orbit services (OOS) and rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO). Stephen has been working on ISO and AIAA standards for OOS and RPO with CONFERS for the past 4 years. Stephen has worked with the Canadian Space Agency on microgravity and gravity offset experiments on laser scanning and space debris removal via lasers. Stephen’s research aims to use technical scuba diving and cave diving astronaut analogs to elucidate questions in remote sensing, planetary science, human evolution, and bioastronautics for human exploration and development of outer space.
