I’m all done with my summer internship at the New Mexico Spaceport Authority. They had me working on some fancy Excel spreadsheets to help them predict the wind speed at the spaceport site. The internship was sponsored by the New Mexico Spacegrant Consortium, which does things like that.
I had a really good time, and I think I was able to help the Spaceport Authority a little bit. I plan to get back to them once I’m out of school and see if they’ll hire me.
Not only did I have fun, do something in line with my mission statement (”To contribute in a material way to the creation of a spacefaring civilization”), and get paid, I also get to give a little talk about my experience at the 2008 ISPCS conference. This means I get to go this year! Yay! I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get into this conference for a couple of years now.
I recommend you check out Spacegrant’s web site if you’re a New Mexico student looking for an interesting and well-paid internship, or perhaps a scholarship. Thanks, guys!
Oh yeah. My final report is available in the download area. Or just click here.
