Really?! Me too! Or at least I designed several satellites with my last company. The last large system I led was 3GIRS (Third Generation Inferred Satellite System). Basically it was a huge inferred eye-in-the-sky that sends down 4MP video of whatever grid it is watching. I was a lead designer of the camera electronics... Probably designed about a third of the system, and was a principle engineer in getting the shit to work. We used quite a few Actel RTAX2000 and RTAX4000 FPGA's... let me tell you... It is pretty nerve racking hitting the program button on a IC that is one time programmable and has a cost of over 100,000 USD. Anyways, I love designing space based electronics! Fun stuff
So what sort of projects have you been involved with?
J is in college, lol.
Ahhh.... aerospace engineer in training. Well good luck with your schooling and breaking into the field. I think it is difficult to get in and and get a hold of interesting work. Those in the field are usually work hogs. It's hard to get a break, and get into a position to have someone to take a chance on you. Best advice I can give after graduation, take the best job experience you can get... care nothing for pay and work location. That is the only way to break into the really cool aerospace shit.
Thanks, that's good to know. I will keep that in mind.
