jayToday was my midterm performance review, doubling as a discussion about the overall state of my little (7 person) research group. Despite budget issues, the group is being kept around as a strategic investment... once NASA has the launch and crew vehicles designed, it will need to figure out what and how it will operate and do science and operations on the Moon (and later, Mars), and what we study is considered key to that. So, we'll go on, and I'll stay as the lead, at least this year. We have a $110K budget shortfall that will have to be addressed somehow by December, but we're still 88% covered overall.
And I had a good lunch with a co-worker in the patent counsel's office... I really need to look at a couple of commercial companies in air traffic systems, who may be infringing our patents from 5 years ago...
