| This month’s speaker will be physicist Jim Hand who worked for Kollsman Instruments and at the MIT Instrumentation Lab during the Apollo years designing and integrating hardware and software for the command and lunar modules including a fifteen million dollar telescope used on the lunar module to assist in navigation. He served in a supporting role during the first lunar landing mission at the Johnson Space Center. His work continued past the Apollo years with technologies developed for Apollo which were finding other applications, most specifically guidance and Navigation of space systems. Jim will speak to us about the history of Apollo and his role as one of the many many people involved in getting the first men to the moon including the work on the lunar module navigation telescope he was responsible for.
