Human Resources Deployment

The NITEOWL Team consists of a number of highly qualified personnel from the University of Saskatchewan and the project's industrial partner, SCI - TEC , as previously described in the Science Team section. Four graduate students will take part in the project. The detailed task descriptions of the students are provided below. The graduate student names are unidentified as of now.

Student 1 (Electrical Engineering) will be registered in a M. Sc. Program and will work under the supervision of Dr. R. J. Bolton. During Phase A the student will work on electrical/electronics aspects, including data compression methods and their implementation in digital circuits.

Student 2 (Mechanical Engineering) will be registered in a M. Sc. Program and will work under the supervision of Dr. J. D. Bugg . The student will work on tasks such as parachute and payload dynamics and structural/thermal modeling in Phase A.

Student 3 (Mechanical Engineering) will be registered in a M. Sc. Program and will work under the supervision of Dr. A T. Dolovitch . The student will be mainly involved in the synthetic data preparation as well as the algorithm development, both during the experimental modeling in Phase A.

Student 4 ( Engineering Physics) will be registered in a M. Sc. Program and will work under the supervision of Dr. D. P. Steele. The student will be primarily involved in most aspects of the experimental modeling aspect of Phase A, as well as the optics and detector system within the experimental specification and description.

Student 5 (College of Commerce) will be registered in the MBA program and will work under the supervision of Dr. M. J. Painter. The student will be responsible for assisting with the financial and human resources management of the project.

Students 1,2, and 4, will also gain experience as term employees at SCI - TEC during certain portions of Phase B, the implementation, integration, testing, and calibration of the instrument. In addition, these students will have limited involvement in the Launch Operations, Phase D.
