White Sands
I’ve constructed a narrative thread that connects experiences, events, and artworks made during my time in graduate school. This narrative, which has the perspective of time, betrays the firsthand experience of wayfaring through the projects and places I describe. The narrative loosens as it …

The Children's Hair Turned White (Original play)
… set on the Jornada del Muerto (now known as White Sands Missile Range), about five people who witnessed the detonation of the first atomic bomb in 1945. The play deals with the long term effects of radiation exposure, with the issues of private versus public responsibility, while at the same …

Integrating Sub-Centimeter Resolution Photogrammetry with a Surface Roughness Correction Factor Applied to PI-SWERL Measurements
… factors were computed for landforms within White Sands National Park to study the effects of surface roughness determinations using the new semi-quantitative lookup table approach on resulting dust emission estimates. These results were compared with published literature values using older …

Rocket Borne Measurements of a Near-Infrared Vehicle Induced Emission with a Newly Designed Spectrograph
… SAMPLER 41.025 rocket payload launched from White Sands Missile Range in July, 2003. A photodiode detector array measured the mesospheric hydroxyl airglow emissions during the initial ascent as well as the vehicle induced glow through the mesopause at eight discreet bandpasses. Data collected …

Quantitative assessment of the frictional ignition resistance of metals in high-pressure oxygen
… on published frictional ignition data from NASA White Sands Testing Facility (WSTF). These values were used with the material index to construct property diagrams for ranking intrinsic frictional ignition resistance. The results demonstrate that nickel-based superalloys with low iron content are …

Spectral measurements of hydrogen Lyman-alpha in the atmospheres of Venus and Jupiter using a sounding rocket and the Hubble Space Telescope
… rocket scheduled for launch in early 2012 from White Sands Missile Range. On Jupiter, the Lyman-alpha emission was observed to better characterize an anomalously bright region near the equator called the Lyman-alpha Bulge. Images and spectra taken by the Hubble Space Telescope while the Bulge …

Low Cost Magnetometer Calibration and Distributed Simultaneous Multipoint Ionospheric Measurements from a Sounding Rocket Platform
… August 2022 and three mid-latitude rockets from White Sands Missile Range during the October 2023 annular solar eclipse. All rockets had a comprehensive suite of instruments for electrodynamics and neutral dynamics measurements. Among this suite was one science-grade three-axis fluxgate …

Smoke Aerosol Characterization for Spacecraft Fire Detection Systems
… were performed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center White Sands Test Facility (WSTF), with additional fuels and an alternate smoke production method. Measurements of these smoke products include mass and number concentration, and a thermal precipitator was designed for this investigation to capture …
