- This suggests an interesting algorithm for Mr. Jones:
-
- 1) Get the proceedings of a recent conference on orbital mechanics.
-
- 2) See who's writing the papers. Also note the companies they work
- for.
-
- 3) Talk to the people in (2). Ask *them* your questions.
-
- 4) Apply to the companies for jobs.
-
- To the list Srinivas gave I might add Science Applications
- International, Teledyne Brown, and Eagle Engineering. General
- Dynamics and McDonnell-Douglas operate launchers and hence employ a
- few astrodynamics people. Military services also employ civilians.
