Hume Seminar Series: Technical Leadership at NASA: Engineering, Physics, and the Non-Linear Dynamics of Human Interaction
About the Speaker: David Everett– Project Systems Engineer for the Lunar Communication Relay and Navigation System
About the Event: In September 2023, the OSIRIS-REx mission completed a seven-year journey to retrieve a sample from an asteroid. Join NASA engineer, Dave Everett, as he recounts the highlights of designing and building this mission. A team of about two thousand people worked together through numerous challenges, from laser development and optical navigation, to sampling in low gravity and entry into Earth’s atmosphere, in their quest to turn this idea into reality.
