Curator's Comment
From an early age, Chandler Keller showed an aptitude for mathematics and engineering. He shared this trait with his maternal grandfather, who handed down his mathematical instrument kit to Chandler. Fascinated with rocket ships, Chandler built and launched models from his childhood backyard in Manhattan Beach, California. After studying aerospace engineering in college, he became a propulsion engineer and project manager for Boeing Satellite Systems. On September 11, Chandler was returning to California after a meeting at the Pentagon. He was collaborating with the U.S. Department of Defense on a satellite project designed to monitor terrorist activity.
