Vitae

Mr. Wheeler has been designing rocket payloads since 1988. His expertise includes designing and fabricating remote sensors for the sounding rocket environment. He has built a range of instruments such as e-field spherical probes, search coil magnetometers, as well as the related analog and digital electronics for data conditioning. He has provided the project management function for rocket experiments from the brainstorming stage through fabrication, calibration, integration into the rocket and launch site support. Before arriving at CSSL in January, 1995, he performed similar work for the Space Plasma Physics Group at Cornell University.

Mr. Wheeler was educated at Cornell University (BSEE '89) and Princeton University (AB, Slavic Languages '75). He has had an exceptionally varied backround (including skipper of a commercial fishing vessel off the Alaska coast) which has afforded him experience in a wide range of technologies.
