Lynch Rocket Group - Dartmouth College

Beginning in april 2006, I have been involved in the DUST project, testing and populating boards. I have also assisted in the fabrication and overall assembly of the boxes and ion detectors for the ROPA rocket, and will soon begin working on SCIFER-2.

My main project has been construction of the new DUST detector from the ground up. I have examined all the populated boards and have begun installing parts into the detector enclosure. Also, I am an assistant/technician on the ROPA project.

Beginning in the summer of 2006, I helped produce drawings of the detectors for the ROPA project. I modified the nescessary drawings in AUTOCAD to create the new HeBig detector. Additionally, I did some cleaning of parts and other miscellaneous tasks.

Beginning April 2005, I helped draft and design a new ion detector for the ROPA rocket as well as some drafting for the microwave source for Elephant and other miscellaneous parts. In addition to this, I have populated boards for CASCADE and DUST, and I am currently digitally testing the new ion detector.

Kelsey started working in the lab in September of 2006, just in time to help put the final touches on ROPA. His primary job is to order electronic and mechanical components, and to manage inventory; Kelsey also helps out with machining parts, when necessary.

Since starting in June, I've been working primarily with the fabrication, inspection and testing of the circuit boards, and I am also helping to design a new ion detector by running computer simulations. I also tend to do a lot of odd jobs here and there, writing up procedures, disassembling the old detectors and cleaning them, looking for components online, etc. I took this job mainly because it allowed me to stick around for the summer, but I really started liking what I was doing, and I especially like the really cool people I work with, Ralph and Kevin and Kristina; I've just learned a lot from them. This is a sweet job, so I'm going to continue as long as school work lets me.
