Job Hunting Working With Recruiters Things I've learned over dozens of engineering interviews over the past few years.
Julia Moon Cannon: Prelude Summary The document discusses a project titled 'Moon Cannon: Prelude,' which explores the feasibility of launching a payload from the Moon to Earth using a cannon. The author uses Julia's DifferentialEquations package to simulate the trajectory, simplifying the problem by considering only the gravitational forces of
Career The Rat Race is Linear My experience with negotiating salaries and how it isn't as straightforward as a win as I once thought.
Space Vulcan and BE-4 Inaugural Flight Explore the landmark ULA and Blue Origin launch at Cape Canaveral, a defining moment in space exploration.
Matlab Machine Learning Directed Study: Report 1 Summary The report details the initial steps of a project focused on analyzing orbital debris using 3D models. The author began by gathering high-quality 3D models from GrabCad, specifically a 6U CubeSat model with 48 unique parts. Data preparation involved deriving fundamental properties from each part using Fusion 360, a
Julia ISS Eclipse Determination Summary The website projects.ansonbiggs.com discusses the importance of determining the eclipses a satellite will encounter during space missions, as this affects thermal and power budgets. An eclipse involves the umbra (complete darkness) and penumbra (partial shadow), with the International Space Station (ISS) spending minimal time in the penumbra
Julia Air Propulsion Simulation Summary The document describes a capstone project simulating the performance of a compressed air propulsion system as an alternative to solid rocket motors for moving mining equipment on the Moon. The simulation uses a paintball gun tank as the pressure vessel, chosen for its high pressure-to-weight ratio. The nozzle diameter
