Please join us in Sherman Oaks, CA, on Tuesday, April 17, 7:30–9:00am, when Dr. Kris Zacny, Vice President and Director of Exploration Technology Group, Honeybee Robotics, will share his experience as a senior manager/engineer in a leading space-robotics company as he stood up a new division across the country from its New York headquarters.
In 2010 Kris left Manhattan to start Honeybee Robotics’ West Coast Division in Pasadena, close to the Caltech/NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Honeybee’s new Exploration Technology Group focuses on developing advanced space-robotics technology and systems for subsurface exploration of Solar System planets, moons, asteroids and comets. Kris will provide a background on Honeybee Robotics (with its three offices in New York, Colorado and California) and will give examples of the Pasadena division’s work and his experience growing the business from two people in 2010 to fifty in 2018.
The meeting is free for members and $45 ($30 Early Bird until April 10) for non-members. Guests may attend twice for free. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adfsfvapr18.eventbrite.com.
