CORE CAPABILITIES

Consulting

I am a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in several core areas of GN&C engineering that are critical to performance and mission success, including precision attitude determination and sensor calibration, image motion and pointing performance analysis, attitude control, and GN&C systems engineering.

LEARN MORE

I have taught courses and seminars on Attitude Determination and Control through the Applied Technology Institute from 1999 to 2015.

The 3-to-4-day course on Attitude Determination, Attitude Control is being revised. I intend to split the course into a course on Attitude Determination and Sensor Calibration and a course on Attitude Control.

I also teach an 8-hour course on Pointing Performance Analysis and Image Motion Optical Transfer Functions. This seminar was recently presented to the NASA Engineering Safety Center (NESC). A bit more material is being added, but the course can be presented at any time.

Check back here in a few weeks for descriptions of these courses.

Contact me if you are interested in these courses.

A Fresh Perspective


Aerospace Control Systems LLC provides quality Engineering Services and Consulting Services to support planning, development, testing, and operation of spacecraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) systems. I am a Subject Matter Expert in several areas of GN&C that are critical to performance and mission success.

An outside expert can provide a fresh perspective, new insight, and a different or modified technical approach to solving problems.

Collaboration is Key


I will collaborate with your engineering team to understand and define the technical problem to be solved, to review the team's current approach to solving the problem, to identify and analyze various alternative solutions (AoA), to select the most effective and feasible solution, and to implement and test the solution.

Good decisions and effective action follow from discussion, collaboration, consensus, commitment, and follow-through.

Why Use Outside Expertise?


There are many reasons to consider adding outside expertise to your team. In general, you may have staffing problems or technical issues that have to be resolved quickly to meet requirements and schedule milestones, you may want an independent review to address a customer's concerns, or you may need consulting services as outlined below.

Whatever your concerns are, I am ready to support you and your engineering team to ensure mission success.
