Adriana Diaz: Aerospace Engineering Course – Week 5
For my last week here at LASP, I was given the job to build a plate to test a piece of equipment. The equipment to be tested is called PAM, though I can’t recall what it stands for, but I know it is a small satellite that needs to open up once it is launched […]
Adriana Diaz: Aerospace Engineering Course – Week 4
Week four of my internship is going great! For this week I continued my work with Nat and her MEMS mirror project. We did our usual routine of testing but something did happen in between. We found that after heating and cooling the mirror several times in a row, the laser would drift off camera. […]
Adriana Diaz: Aerospace Engineering Course – Week 3
Welcome back everyone! I am now three weeks into my aerospace engineering internship and for this week I got to introduce Cutler to LASP. Cutler is another Pintern who will also be working with my mentor Dmitry. I highly suggest you check out his blog posts to see how things are going from his perspective […]
Adriana Diaz: Aerospace Engineering Course – Week 2
This week I continued my work with Nat and her MEMS project. The testing went by much quicker because we were able to get a rhythm down. The changes, if any, had to have resulted from heating up the MEMS mirror using a heat lamp, but luckily there were only slight changes. The results from […]
