This was one of my most satisfying projects. NASA initially tested the
space shuttle by flying it piggyback on a 747 jumbo jet. They discovered a
serious communications problem that had to be fixed. The TV signals
interfered with and sometimes destroyed the computer data being relayed to the
Houston control center. I determined the cause of the problem and
developed the "Shuttle Video Deviation Limiter" system to solve the
problem and protect the
computer data. I built about 8 units by hand and delivered them to
NASA. The units were deployed around the world at all the satellite relay
stations used in the space shuttle communications system.
