INSPIRATION4: The first all-private orbital human spaceflight
|
|
Organization: Orbital Velocity
Publication: Sept. 10, 2021 Inspiration4 is a trip to Earth orbit with an all-private crew. It was the first time in human history a group of completely non-government, non-professional astronauts embarked on such a journey. Four seats aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft were purchased by 38-year-old billionaire Jared Isaacman with the goal to send himself and three ordinary people into orbit and to raise funds and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The three selected, by different means, are 29-year-old Hayley Arceneaux, a child cancer survivor and now a St. Jude physician assistant; Sian Proctor, a 51-year-old geoscientist, explorer and science communication specialist; and 42-year-old Chris Sembroski, an Iraq war veteran and current Lockheed Martin engineer. |
CREW DRAGON IN-FLIGHT ABORT | Launch profile
|
|
Organization: Orbital Velocity
Publication: Jan. 15, 2020 As part of its certification process for NASA's Commercial Crew Program, SpaceX performed an in-flight abort test on its Crew Dragon spacecraft. The test took place just after 15:30 UTC Jan. 19, 2020. The test involved launching a Falcon 9 rocket with Crew Dragon on top. Roughly 80-90 seconds into flight -- in the most extreme part of the ascent profile -- the first stage engines shut off. This started the abort sequence as the Crew Dragon's eight SuperDraco thrusters fired to propel the spacecraft away from the rocket. |
Back-to-back launches: Falcon 9 and Atlas V

Organization: SpaceFlight Insider
Publication: Aug 9, 2019 During the first full week of August 2019, the 45th Space Wing and the Eastern Range at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida demonstrated the ability to support two rocket launches in rapid succession. SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 with AMOS-17 at 7:23 p.m. EDT Aug. 6, 2019. Just 34 hours later at 6:13 a.m. EDT Aug. 8, United Launch Alliance sent the AEHF-5 spacecraft into orbit atop an Atlas V. Using media collected by SpaceFlight Insider's visual team for both launches, I put together a 2.5-minute video highlighting the back-to-back launches. This is part of the 45th Space Wing's goal of upgrading the Eastern Range to support up to 48 launches per year. |
Space Bulletin
|
|
Organization: SpaceFlight Insider
Publication: March to May 2019 In March 2019, I began writing, filming and editing a weekly news bulletin video called "Space Bulletin." Each video is four to six minutes and usually covers about five space news topics. These range from the big stories of the week to smaller, less-covered topics. For the first 10 episodes, I researched and wrote the script, filmed and edited the video, and uploaded the video to YouTube with custom thumbnails and scheduled it for an appropriate time — usually Saturday morning. Additionally, I outlined an detailed workflow to serve as a guide for future Space Bulletin episodes to be produced by a team at SpaceFlight Insider. |
Insider Exclusive: The people and the parts of NASA's EM-1 mission
|
|
Organization: SpaceFlight Insider
Publication: Sept. 27, 2017 For this video, I took video gathered by other members of the SpaceFlight Insider team and compiled it into a package. Orbital ATK (now Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems) was deep into the production of the solid rocket boosters that will be used for NASA’s Space Launch System. SpaceFlight Insider was granted an exclusive tour of the processes and personnel making the giant rockets that NASA hopes will help take astronauts deeper into space than has ever been attempted before. |

Infographics for Orbital Velocity

Organization: Orbital Velocity
In addition to a number of individual graphics and videos, I also create infographics for various topics for Orbital Velocity. These include cargo mission graphics, info formation on spacecraft and rockets, such as the SLS and Orion, and an Artemis program checklist. |
Lunar Gateway paper model
|
Organization: Orbital Velocity
As a gift for people who sign up for Orbital Velocity's monthly newsletter, "The Space Capsule," I created a paper model for NASA's Lunar Gateway. You can check out more images here. The model was created in Adobe Illustrator and is in a 1:100 scale. If you'd like your own, you can sign up for the newsletter. You'll receive it in your welcome email. |
Election 2016 spread
|
Organization: Washburn Review
Publication: Nov. 9, 2016 I created a spread to showcase the results of the Nov. 8, 2016, election. One of the main highlights of this page was the creation of the electoral map. Rather than use a geographical representation, I split each state into their respective number of electors. Each elector was one box. Additionally, the Kansas results for U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and state supreme court justices were included below the U.S. map. This was created in advance of the election and updated throughout election night before the Washburn Review's print deadline.

ISS spacecraft graphics for Orbital Velocity
|
|
Organization: Orbital Velocity
Using Adobe Illustrator, I create a number of graphics for Orbital Velocity to showcase the various spacecraft that visit the International Space Station, the rockets used to loft them into space, and more. Many of these graphics are also used in videos created for Orbital Velocity, while some are placed on their respective visiting vehicle pages on the website. |
