      Hi!

      At the moment, all the project I’m involved with are Earth observing. There are lots of these being built so plenty to keep me busy!!

      I would like to work on some missions to other planets though, too. Maybe in a while I will see if I can change to those projects. Fortunately, in engineering you do often get the chance to work on the projects that most interest you and the skills I learn now will be useful if I was to help design a satellite to Mars or a rover for Titan 🙂
