Physics and Aerospace Engineering student @BYU. I study sonic booms and rocket launch acoustics 🚀 @BYU_PASCAL

[Kent Gee @KentLGee]

@TaggartDurrant is presenting on a Falcon 9 launch and landing measurement at @SLDelta30. Great launch and sonic boom audio! #ASA184

[BYU PASCAL @BYU_PASCAL]

@BYU PASCAL students are headed back from a highly productive two days presenting their research and visiting with scientists @NASA_Langley. We are trying to improve the upcoming acoustical measurements of X-59, the first quiet supersonic aircraft.

[Mark Anderson @AerospaceMark]

What is a Falcon 9 sonic boom like? Check out as two BYU students listen to their first Falcon 9 boom!

@KentLGee @tstahle15 @BYUComms @HannaSeariac @Deseret @AerospaceMark @lmath103 @Matt_AChristian @tyce_o Yup. Shows us that professors don’t always know what they’re talking about ;)

[Kent Gee @KentLGee]

Dear @KelloggsUS,

What do @ricekrispies and @NASA_SLS sounds have in common? They both crackle.

We found the noise from the world's most powerful rocket 5 km away to be equal to about 40 million bowls of cereal.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Pretty awesome article from the Smithsonian on our Artemis measurement 🙌

[Kent Gee @KentLGee]

It's out! Here is the link to our #openaccess publication about the noise from the @NASAArtemis I launch of @NASA_SLS. Among other findings, we see a need to revise noise models developed prelaunch.

Our article describing initial findings on the @NASA_SLS @NASAArtemis I launch noise comes out later today in @ASA_JASAEL.

While we're waiting - relive the adventure had by @BYU students and faculty members!

[BYU PASCAL @BYU_PASCAL]

Sonic boom measurements require hardware with response good to 0.1 Hz, but the mics have low sensitivities/high noise floors. This @ASA_JASAEL describes a digital filtering method to enable use of lower noise mics with higher corner frequencies.

[Kent Gee @KentLGee]

@DSP_fact A great explanation, except it's generally not an energy. It's the signal's complex amplitude (magnitude & phase) at each frequency. Energy often requires magnitude-squaring of the Fourier transform, X_k. Calling a Fourier spectrum an energy spectrum needlessly confuses students.

[Taggart @TaggartDurrant]

Coolest launch we’ve done yet 🙌 and the LOUDEST

[BYU @BYU]

SOUND ON 🔊

Tasked with measuring the sound of the world’s most powerful rocket, @BYU_PASCAL was onsite for the epic @NASAArtemis I launch.

It is fun having Tagg as a student; he works hard, writes well, and has a lot of good ideas!

[Taggart @TaggartDurrant]

Honored to have my paper chosen! It was fun getting a chance to analyze the Falcon-9 launch and reentry.

[POMA @ASA_POMA]

STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION

This award-winning paper from #ASA182 talks about the #noise created by the Falcon-9 at launch and reentry : https://t.co/ZRiMG0rJHv

(@ASAStudents, you can still submit to the #ASA183 competition!)

@KentLGee Should inform students of that. It’s just a box to check or not and I didn’t pay much attention to mine. Didn’t know it mattered and didn’t think it’d make a difference, and I’d never heard anyone talk about it.

[BYU PASCAL @BYU_PASCAL]

3) Awards. A @ASA_JASAEL paper on wind noise was an Editor's pick: https://t.co/vWxqMtmM26 Another on sonic boom measurements made the journal cover: https://t.co/dhfFAmPwHz
And @TaggartDurrant won a prize for a @ASA_POMA on Falcon-9 sonic booms: https://t.co/DMTAmD6diu

[Kent Gee @KentLGee]

Our measurements of the #Artemis I launch were featured in a @BYU video. They captured so well the experience in 3 and a half minutes. Check it out!

[Kent Gee @KentLGee]

Listen to @BYU undergrad @TaggartDurrant talk about his rocket launch noise and sonic boom research, which won an @ASA_POMA student paper prize. Way to go, Tagg!
