Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTucker Wheeler is a Senior Space Tactics and Orbits Analyst with nine years of aerospace experience focused on satellite formation flying, rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO), and state estimation. At The Aerospace Corporation he blends physics-based modeling and simulation with machine learning to generate fuel-efficient, objective-driven trajectory solutions and has taught colleagues modern C/C++ design for more modular, reusable tools. He has led multidisciplinary teams through hardware testing and mission design—from thermal vacuum characterization of novel MLI to a NASA-finalist hybrid propulsion concept for Mars—and cut his teeth reducing and matching large-scale Monte Carlo flight simulations during a missile-defense internship. Based in Colorado Springs, Tucker balances rigorous technical work with a passion for the mountains and water, and brings a rare mix of hands-on systems engineering, algorithm development, and practical software craftsmanship to space operations problems.
