SPIE Member Mark Kahan, Chief Electro-Optical Systems Engineer for Optical Research Assoc., provided a guest blog on NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Many of the managerial and engineering lessons learned from WISE will be covered in the conference An Optical Believe It or Not: Key Lessons Learned, at SPIE Optics and Photonics in August.
Kahan will chair the conference, and has served on other program and session committees and for SPIE and taught courses on introductory optics and other topics.
