What the team does
Ground Support Engineering develops the systems that let SRT operate hardware safely from the ground. The subteam works on data acquisition, controls, real-time software, networking, instrumentation, launch support, and test infrastructure such as the static test cell and launch tower.
Members learn how electrical, mechanical, and software systems meet during an actual operation. Typical work includes selecting sensors, wiring DAQ hardware, programming control interfaces, validating network communication, writing test procedures, and troubleshooting under a disciplined test process.
