FEATURING PRESENTATIONS BY: Dr Rolf Danner and Dr Jon Arenberg, both with the Northrop Grumman Prime Contractor team for the JWST
(1) The James Webb Space Telescope – Exploration Beyond the Mighty Hubble
About the Presentation by Dr Rolf Danner
Dr. Rolf Danner, astronomer and senior scientists at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, will lay out how NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will reach beyond the accomplishments of the Hubble Space Telescope. Come and hear how the science goals of JWST have led to an observatory design never before launched into space. Understand how all elements of the revolutionary architecture will allow astronomers to peer back further into the beginning of the universe than ever. See an in depth overview of the latest technical progress and a preview of what is left to be done before launch in 2018.
Dr. Rolf Danner Biography
Dr. Rolf Danner is a senior scientist in Science and Weather Systems at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. At Northrop Grumman, Rolf’s focus is on Systems Engineering for JWST as well as developing astrophysics missions and related technology. Prior to joining Northrop Grumman, he was a research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and taught introductory astronomy at the University of Southern California. Rolf holds a PhD in experimental Physics from the Technical University Munich in Germany. He pursued undergraduate and graduate research at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany, the European Space Agency in the Netherlands, at the California Institute of Technology and at observatories throughout the United States. Rolf is the author of numerous scientific research as well as popular science articles on neutron stars, X-ray astronomy, optical interferometry as well as mission and instrument design.
(2) DESIGNING THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE
About the presentation by Dr Jon Arenberg:
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is NASA’s flagship astrophysics program for the next decade. JWST is a large, 6.5 m diameter, cryogenic infra-red telescope orbiting the Earth-Sun L2 point. In order to make the JWST mission a success, a great number of engineering challenges must be identified and surmounted. This presentation will present a review of the JWST architecture, to address the basic question, “why does it look like that?”. It will also address some archetypal issues that the JWST team has faced and solved. These example problems are drawn from various disciplines and illustrate the highly interdependent nature of the JWST system
Biography of Dr. Jon Arenberg
Jonathan Arenberg is the Chief Engineer for the James Webb Space Telescope program at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. Dr. Arenberg has been with Northrop Grumman since 1989 having begun his career with Hughes Aircraft Company in 1982. His work experience includes optical, space and laser systems. Dr. Arenberg has worked on such astronomical programs as the Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope and helped develop the New Worlds Observer concept for the imaging of extra-solar planets. He has worked on several major high-energy and tactical laser systems, laser component engineering and metrology issues. He is a US delegate to the ISO sub-committee charged with writing standards for laser and electro-optic systems and components, SPIE, American Astronomical Society and AIAA. Dr. Arenberg holds a BS in physics and an MS and PhD in engineering, all from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of over 100 conference presentations and publications, and holds 1 European and 11 U.S. Patents in a wide variety of areas of technology
Schedule for the ALL IEEE Foothill Section STUDENTS FORUM
0900 Hrs Meet and Greet and Continental Breakfast (YES, WE WILL HAVE IEEE MEMBERS from the FOOTHILL Section and other Sections in ATTENDANCE), BSC URSA MAJOR SUITE
0930 JWST PRESENTATIONS, BSC URSA MAJOR SUITE
1100 Hrs. Breakout JSWT Technical Sessions in adjacent BSC rooms: ORION AB SUITE; ENGLAND EVANS BOARD ROOM; ANDROMEDA SUITE
These Breakout sessions are intended to discuss some more in-depth design, development, scheduling, integration, test, validation and verification issues that are part of the JWST program. For both our working IEEE Foothill engineers as well as our Students, they are intended to give a flavor and appreciation of the details crucial to such a large inter-disciplinary program such as the JWST. Our speakers from the JWST Prime Contractor Northrop Grumman, will be able to give their unique viewpoint and share their lessons learnt as the Systems Integrator.
