| "I am a test conductor and mechanical systems engineer for Stennis R&D space propulsion testing. Currently, I am responsible for writing test procedures, overseeing the build of a liquid oxygen feed system, and performing tests for the first time on a 250Klbf hybrid motor that is in the R&D stage of its development.
As part of the Hybrid Propulsion Demonstration Program, I work cooperatively with a consortium of six major aerospace companies. Working with colleagues from all over the United States, my work at SSC blends the laid-back atmosphere of the South and influence of New Orleans (only 40 minutes away) with the professional engineering standards necessary to ensure NASAs quality products." |
