TRA is pleased to announce that we have arranged for a second James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program update from Northrop Grumman vice president and program manager Scott Willoughby and Northrop Grumman vice president and deputy program manager Vince Heeg.
The event will be on Thursday, October 20, 10:00AM to 11:00AM Pacific Daylight Time as a Zoom virtual event. Registration for this event is required and is available at our website, www.tra-space-park.org. The Zoom meeting details will be provided by email upon your registration.

If you can’t attend the live event we plan to record the event and make it available to our members on our web site.
Since launch, deployment, and calibration, JWST has exceeded expectations. Early discoveries include new deep-field images, images of the planet Jupiter, identification of star-forming regions within the “Phantom Galaxy”, and the detection of carbon dioxide in an alien planet’s atmosphere.

He was vice president of Operations for Strategic Space Systems and program manager for the JWST program at Northrop Grumman. Prior to JWST, Scott was P858 program manager in Advanced Concepts, Technology and Emerging Systems Division, and program manager for the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) program, where he led the team on early deliveries to Lockheed Martin for the Flight 1 and Flight 2 AEHF payloads.
Vince Heeg is vice president of Operations at Strategic Space Systems. He was deputy program manager on JWST. Prior to JWST, Vince was director of Systems Integration, Test and Evaluation for the Research, Technology, and Engineering group in the Aerospace Systems Sector.
