I am going to start with Echostar as a Sr Satellite Controller in May 2008. I am 38 and will be living in Cheyenne WY once I start at Echostar.
I have been involved with Seti@Home before using seti classic, and just recently started running under BOINC. My old account under classic still shows up in my current employers team (Loral Skynet). Since Skynet is closing, and I have been offered and accepted the job with Echostar I decided to join this team instead of Skynet's.
I have been involved with Echostar since I started at Skynet in 2001 since we fly several of Echostar's spacecraft.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
