Mr. Michael R. O'Connell

Michael O'Connell is an aerospace engineering graduate of Purdue University, and a bona fide rocket scientist with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (retired). He has more than 40 years of experience analyzing vibration data, and vibration testing science instruments and spacecraft, for NASA and the aerospace industry. These tests were performed to prove JPL equipment would survive an intensely loud rocket ride into space. A career high point was co-directing the vibration test of the highly sophisticated Curiosity rover, which is currently performing science experiments on Mars. Michael is a Christian and a life long student of the Bible. One of his passions is sharing the support that modern science lends to Christianity. Michael is a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
