SUBMARINES AND SPACESHIPS

SPACE SCIENCE

Just after I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a physics degree, I worked at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) at the University of New Hampshire. (Back then it was called the UNH Space Science Center.) Their page:

    SOUNDING ROCKETS

    I spent some time working for Roger Arnoldy on his aurora borealis sounding rockets. Roger was hunting cosmic rays and he sure knew where and how to find them. It's amazing how many tin-can-sized expiriments you can fit onto a rocket payload a yard high and a foot or so in diameter. Roger's page (at EOS, go to Faculty and look for Roger Arnoldy) includes a description of his work: Space physics, the space plasma physics of the solar wind's interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, and auroral particle acceleration.

    GAMMA RAY OBSERVATORY

    I worked as a test engineer on the D1 and D2 amplifier sets for the Compton Imaging Telescope (COMPTEL), on the Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO). GRO was launched aboard the space-shuttle Atlantis on April 5, 1991 on STS-37, and is now in orbit, mapping the Milky Way Galaxy.

    COMMON BASIC OPERATOR TRAINER

    From the skies to the deeps... Now I work on Submarine Combat trainers. The Common Basic Operator Trainer (CBOT) is developed under Windows 95 using Visual Basic and Microsoft Access. Currently the home page is restricted so you can only get to the CBOT page if you have a .mil extension.
