Hey All THP. I am having a minor celebration. For the third time my craftsmanship in the form of flight hardware has left the planet bound for Mars.

40 miles or so N of the launch pad...
Man those rockets are much faster then the shuttle, and not quite the rumble once the sound waves arrive. We took my buddies flats boat out for a night shuttle launch, as far S as we could go in the lagoon. It was a nice moon, and glassy, once the sound waves hit, you could see ripples on the water

S.S.Tupperware, I was involved with the sample collection and distribution subsystem of the "SAM" instrument known as SMS. Also a couple device's on the robotic arm called DRT, and PADS.
It is proprietary information so I am intentionally being vague since I,(and the company I work for), are simply the manufacturer.

Timmy thanks for posting the simulation!

While I am a big science fan, I am just an armchair wannabe. I do have extensive manufacturing experience. Making something from nothing. Making little ones out of big ones, etc.
