Tour of the James Webb Space Telescope

August 17, 2019 By Ivan Rosenberg Leave a Comment

Joint Meeting of South Bay & Los Angeles Chapters at
Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems Space Park, Redondo Beach
on September 11

Agenda

9:00am Badging in Building E2 Lobby & Networking
9:15am Introductions and Announcements
9:30am James Webb Space Telescope Tour
10:30am Turn in badges and Adjourn

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most ambitious and technologically advanced assembly of a space telescope is currently under way at the Northrop Grumman Space Park in Redondo Beach. While the JWST is still on earth, come join us to tour the assembly bay of this scientific marvel. The JWST is being developed through a collaboration of NASA, Northrop Grumman and other foreign Space Agencies. With an estimated overall cost greater than 10 billion dollars, this will more than likely be the most expensive assembly that you will ever see.

The Webb Telescope is the successor to the Hubble Telescope. Currently, the Hubble Telescope travels 354 miles from earth and orbits around the earth. The JWST will travel to a distance just under 1 million miles from earth and will orbit around the sun. It will take the Webb around half a year to travel to its end point. Because the Webb Telescope will end up so far into space with its advanced infrared telescope, it will be able to view galaxies never before seen.

The current planned launch date for the Webb Telescope is March 2021.

The meeting is free for A&D Forum Individual Members and Corporate Members (exclusive access until August 22), and $35 for Non-members (after August 22). Registration closes at 2pm, Thursday, August 30. Limited to 30 attendees
Must be a US citizen Register to attend at: https://adfsbsep19.eventbrite.com.

The South Bay Chapter is hosted by California Manufacturing Technology Consulting and sponsored by Moss Adams, Chubb, and Bolton & Company. The Los Angeles chapter is hosted by Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Mitchell and sponsored by RSM, California Bank & Trust, Chubb, Bolton & Company Insurance Brokers, and Stanton Chase.
