Title: Keynote – Sensors in Space: Learnings from Designing NASA's James Webb Telescope
Session Handouts Available at Speaker Approval: 1
Description:
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest, most complex and powerful space telescope ever built. It is also the world’s first space deployable telescope and includes 10 new technologies. The construction took over 100-million man hours by hundreds of companies spread over the globe. JWST contains the largest mirror ever launched into space and two different types of extraordinarily sensitive detectors. The JWST just passed its second year in space and is performing twice as well as required. Jon Arenburg, Chief Mission Architect for the JWST at Northrop Grumman Space, oversaw the integrated design performance for the project. In this keynote, Jon will review the mission and then delve into the sensors and other devices developed for the project. And, of course, he will share some of the jaw-dropping images the JWST has sent back.
