Blackjack Deals Winning Hand

摘要

This month, Managing Editor Tracy Cozzens (TC) interviewed Angie Dorsey (AD), senior member of the Engineering Staff at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Dorsey was featured in 50+ Leaders to Watch in our May issue. Dorsey's team plans to demonstrate decimeter-level real-time position accuracy of an aircraft using a Blackjack GPS receiver modified by JPL to receive signals from aTDRSS communications satellite, transmitting JPLs Global Differential GPS corrections. She is also involved with the build and test of the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM)/Jason-2 Blackjack GPS receivers. An Earth-orbiting oceanographic satellite, OSTM/Jason-2 is scheduled for launch this month.
