As technical writer for NASA's Ares First Stage Team and First Stage Ares Outreach, I also serve on the Ares TV and Video Working Group. My role is to first review the raw First Stage footage, which is shot live, on site at NASA centers and the various contractor sites as the First Stage element moves through the design, development, production process and testing to final design of a first stage element reusable solid rocket booster. This first stage booster element will be used to loft rockets and other spacecraft into Lower Earth Orbit. My role is to research and collect relevant technical and production background information for use in both Ares Outreach and in writing the First Stage section of the Ares Quarterly Video Updates. This is very much a team effort. My research and writing is combined with that of the photographers, video editors, graphic artists, and other writers as the script is written and production moves toward the final publicly released video. I started work with the team during the production of the eighth quarterly video. Since then (among other), I have worked with/and/or contributed to the following Ares video productions.
