Brian Lewis - Skimming the Lunar Surface for Science: The LADEE Mission

NASA Ames Research Center Director's Colloquium, July 15, 2014, Moffett Field, California. NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft impacted the Moon on April 17, 2014, capping a successful operational mission. LADEE not only skimmed the surface of the moon for science, but also successfully demonstrated two-way laser communications from lunar orbit. NASA Ames was responsible for spacecraft design, development, testing and mission operations, in addition to managing the overall mission.

Brian Lewis is a systems engineer at the NASA Ames Research Center. He is currently the lead system engineer for the BioSentinel project and previously acted as the spacecraft systems engineer and then spacecraft manager on the LADEE project.

The NASA Ames Director's Colloquium Summer Series was presented by the Office of the Chief Scientist as part of the Center's 75th anniversary celebration.
