The Centrifuge
at Goddard Space Flight Center. In this picture,
a Hubble instrument is about to
be tested (on tilt table to the left of the picture). This
massive
facility can be spun at up to 20 rpm, leading
to a speed of about 100 mph at the ends. The hardware then
experiences 15 G's
of acceleration. For scale, note
the test technician standing on the movable platform.
In 2002, I was on the development team for the RF-250 wireless
keyboard from Wireless Computing.
I wrote the software for the microprocessor in both the keyboard and the USB receiver,
and did the overall design on the electrical circuit of both devices.
