sit on siccness behind multiple windows. lmao.
nah, put shortly theres alot of data that comes through concerning space surveillance and my job was to collect all the data (happens every 5 min or so) and send it off to the higher ups. so basically data entry, and in my spare time helping the engineers solve random problems. a few of nasa's programs have my name in the credits. they were gonna pay for my college for engineering i just was young and stupid and didnt think ahead.
was a great job though, paid well.
heres a small bit of info of what we did: "The
AN/FPS-133 Air Force Space Surveillance System, colloquially known as the
Space Fence, was a
U.S. government multistatic radar system built to detect
orbital objects passing over
America. It is a component of the
US space surveillance network, and according to the US Navy was able to detect basketball sized (29.5 inches (75 cm)) objects at heights up to 30,000 km (15,000 nautical miles.)

the 'fence' made a virtual grid around earth and protects us from threats.
sometimes engineers get so mentally bogged down they cant think as clear as a person on the outside. so when i wasnt busy w doing documents, id help to solve random equations.
