NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Infrared Technologies from Santa Barbara

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Infrared Technologies from Santa Barbara

Ventech is excited to host NASA's Dr Matthew Greenhouse to discuss the amazing engineering, technology and science of JWST including our local IR community's significant contributions of the IR cameras!

The James Webb Space Telescope is an amazing engineering and technological achievement featuring enabling technology from our local Infrared businesses; Raytheon and Teledyne. Our infrared camera systems; the "eyes" of the telescope; allow JWST to observe the galaxies furthest from Earth; essentially the dawn of our universe. JWST's enabling IR sensors are also used to study star formation; interstellar dust and probe the atmosphere's of exoplanets. Join us to see the breathtaking images; hear about the extraordinary engineering and be tantalized by the mind boggling discoveries.

The event will feature:

-FastPitches by Dragon Q Energy & TRVLR

-Talk given by Matthew Greenhouse moderated by Kevin Riley

-Raytheon Vision Systems will have a mock up of the infrared sensor for JWsT & free infrared wall chart posters to take home!
