As part of the 2022 Claritas Lecture at Susquehanna University, our guest lecturer Michael Davis explains a bit about what the James Webb Space Telescope is doing 930,000 miles out in orbit. He takes us on a journey from our solar system to some of the greatest distances we've ever seen, BILLIONS of light years away. In 2003 Micheal joined the James Webb Space Telescope Project as a systems engineer working for Ball Aerospace. Five years later, he was promoted to a NASA civil servant and the deputy mission systems engineer for the JWST project. He was responsible for requirements formulation and management, system design and integration and the verification and validation of the nearly 30,000 JWST requirements. With JWST performing science on-orbit, Mike supports day-to-day JWST flight operations, including trending analysis and anomaly identification and resolution. The Distinguished Visitor Program at Susquehanna University was endowed by George E. ’64 and Margaret Lauver ’66 Harris to support lectures, seminars or residencies by nationally recognized leaders in business, government or education on topics in the public interest. This series brings an accomplished scholar in the sciences to our campus annually for a public address.
