Virgin Galactic has undergone its big we-are-ready moment. On October 10, 2010, they successfully released and glided the VSS Enterprise, class SpaceShipTwo, from its mothership (at an altitude of 45,000 feet) to the landing strip in Mojave, CA.
The two main goals of this test flight were to have a “clean release of the spaceship from its mothership” and to have the pilots free fly and glide the VSS Enterprise back to Space Port in California.
In case your interested, the mothership is named Eve, class WhiteKnightTwo. For those of us interested in the private sector (aka, commercial) space race, this is exciting news.
As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991.
For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine.
Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors.
More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.
