Re: Greetings Everyone!

I just joined today. I just wanted to say hello. I'm looking forward to meeting others and hopefully maybe working on some Mars technical projects.

Hi, there Torraway!

Not sure really. I hoping maybe I can help somebody with a project. I have an extensive background in assembly, intergration, and test of satellites plus manufacturing processes (machining and composites). I plan to take some welding classes this fall. I just want to get my "hands dirty" on some cool projects.

Hmmm... With a resumé like that, I expect you'll get some P.M.'s from some of the regulars, here 

That's not a case of secret agenda's but modesty.
Maybe you can get your hnds dirty in the Mars Analog Research Stations dept.
Dunno how they do/organise projects, but you can always try and have a look if there's anything suitable for you... That's no satellite business of course..

Welcome to the forum Torraway   :;):

Well, there is this giant orbiting space tether station to work on, but it's still very far from realization, just some boring math and unfinished software so far.
But then I have no practical experience with sattelite assembly at all, so maybe you should be the one proposing a project.
