| CAPER Sounding Rocket Ground Support Equipment (GSE) |
Southwest Research Institute is a research laboratory with scientists and engineers
involved in a number of specialties. They have been a subcontractor to NASA and
DOD (more specifically, the Air Force) for most of the time these government agencies
existed. One of the projects carried out in 1997 and 1998 was the CAPER sounding rocket,
a platform for analyzing the 'magnetosphere', a region where the earth's magnetic field
interacts with ions and atoms making up the 'solar wind'. More

| Research Requirements and Performance Analysis Tracking |
A common problem in research institutions is matching up the research work with those
that benefit from the results. In this particular case, the US Air Force had identified
deficiencies in a wide range of field conditions. It employed researchers in a number
of laboratories to develop solutions. Many of the projects took years to complete.
