Orion Program: January 2005-July 2010Conducted mission design and analysis on Orion manned spacecraft. Assessed launch vehicle configurations to define and drive performance specifications for spacecraft designs. Developed and implemented strategy to analyze spacecraft re-entry flight characteristics resulting in adding back-up attitude control system to ensure crew survival during critical flight phase. Team leader in interdisciplinary effort to develop new tool to streamline communications and resolve conflicts between design and analysis organizations impacting vehicle design.Titan and GX Launch Vehicle Programs: April 1995-December 2004Responsible for mission design and analysis on Titan and GX launch vehicles. Denver launch center team member for over one dozen Titan missions. Successfully completed special task to characterize vehicle fragments following a launch failure enabling completion of range safety analyses and expediting required approvals for launch from Japanese facility.Achieved accuracies within 1% between trajectory data acquired from launch vehicle during ascent with predicted performance from pre-launch simulations in post-flight analyses.Preserved launch date commitment for national security payload by accelerating completion of critical rework of trajectories and analyses in shortened pre-launch task cycle.Maintained program schedule by implementing a new methodology to determine required propellant ensuring year-round launch opportunities for a performance-critical vehicle.Prevented costly launch delay of vehicle developing real-time workarounds to overcome multiple system failures and issues during high-pressure countdown sequence.Revised regular updates of program documentation to resolve and eliminate errors, improve formatting of data and reduce time required to prepared future editions.Recognition from senior management and customer for presentation of mission overviews in technical review boards.
