Here's where I work


Let me show you the areas i work. My office (pictured to the right) is in the MOSB (below). This building is located in the KSC industrial section, but we are actually in the middle of no where.





KSC is way bigger than Goddard, you drive for like 10 minutes through a wildlife reserve and then come across a building like this:

The PHSF is the big clean room that will hold all our carriers. We are currently setting up all our test equipment here. First, we verify the flight hardware survived the truck ride down here. Then, all the stuff is packed up in "the can" which takes the payloads to the launch pad.






NASA is known for being on the cutting edge of technology. We send payloads and people into the upper atmosphere, onto the moon, and beyond the stars. Ground support equipment is no exception, our equipment is housed in the finest structure NASA has to offer...this is "the trailer"




The trailer is outfitted with the most high-tech hurricane proofing equipment (patent pending)














Inside, you can see our hotrod red racks are all set up and ready to power up some flight hardware. I spend most of my time here, as well as the clean room in the PHSF.





To really get a feel for the size of the PHSF, here's a sweet picture:






Finally, every day i leave down a little road that lets me look at all the crazy animals that are found at KSC. I'll leave you with a nice view of the swamp right next to work. Check back soon!
