Aerospace Engineering is one of my top subjects! Published a NASA Technical Note on "Optimum Design of Wings Subjected to Aerodynamic Heating". Instrumental in mission planning and analysis for NASA projects Mercury (Glenn into orbit), Gemini (Rendezvous practice) and Apollo (the Manned Moon Landing); Technologies manager for the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (Military personnel in space); instrumental in the design, construction, launch and operation of four Communications Satellites; Senior Engineer on the U.S. "Star Wars" program (Simulation of Battle Management) at the IBM Federal Systems Division; and Senior Quality Assurance Supervisor (for U.S. Gov.) on top secret classified National Asset Space Program. I hold five U.S. Patents in the Satellite Engineering field.
