2:30-3:30pm “Stories from Rochester's Contribution to the James Webb Space Telescope"     NON PDH

Presented by Mr. Keith Havey, Retired Senior Engineer, L3Harris

This presentation, given at the October 20, 2022 IS&T meeting, will provide an overview of the design, testing, and integration of the telescope with the optical components.

Mr. Havey has 43 years aerospace experience, primarily based in Rochester working for our local aerospace optical payload company that started as Kodak, then migrated into ITT, Exelis, Harris, and most recently L3Harris.   {Following retirement in 2020, Mr. Havey established a sole-proprietorship business KAH Consulting, specializing in space telescope systems, optical payloads, and thermal engineering.}

Over his career he has had both management and technical roles, many in support of NASA programs and studies.   In 2022 Mr. Havey has supported the Roman Space Telescope team and Chandra program operations for L3Harris, and also supported the JWST commissioning activities.

From 2011 to early 2018 he had a leadership role encompassing thermal and electrical hardware development and thermal test support for the JWST cryo-vacuum tests at Johnson Spaceflight Center (JSC).  {Hardware included Thermal Telemetry System (TTS), Space Vehicle Thermal Simulator (SVTS), Deep Space Environment Radiative Simulators (DSERS), ISIM Precool System, 0-Q hardware, critical clearance measurement and analysis, and temperature control systems for the Photogrammetry System and Center of Curvature Optical Assembly (CoCOA).}

4:00-5:00pm Chandra: Development of the Chandra X-ray Observatory   1 PDH

 Mr. Jon Kriegel, Retired Senior Engineer, Eastman Kodak

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is an x-ray telescope in a 64-hour earth orbit launched in July 1999. This presentation will discuss the design and construction of the telescope and will include many spectacular images of celestial bodies made possible by Chandra.

Mr. Kregel is a retired engineer from Eastman Kodak who has presented extensively on this subject.
