Wil,

Thanks for the reply and information. I'll review the links.

Yes, this is certainly a specialized field. From the limited online research I've done thus far, there's an amazing amount of knowledge aside from the analytical tools themselves in terms of systems engineering.

mikito… experience provides insight!

In my current neighborhood, I met a old retired fella who was a 'Boeing employee for a day'. He had started a small spaceflight 'attitude controls' company in the 1960s which was eventually an industry leader... which he sold to Boeing in the 2000s and headed for full and comfortable retirement.

Much good fortune in Your ventures!

Wil,

An excellent anectode! I thank you.

For any others reading, time to start something new.
