Now in his fourth year as Video Club President, he will describe how video was used in the many NASA projects he worked on during his 48-year career before retiring to Laguna Woods Village in 2012.
 Steve will show video animation to depict the detailed operations of spacecraft and will feature video from two projects that he worked on during his 35 years at TRW/Northrop Grumman Aerospace.

- The James Webb Space Telescope (above) is in final testing before launch in May, 2020, replacing the Hubble Space Telescope, and extending the view of the universe back in time to the time of the Big Bang. Steve will describe the process for producing these videos and the teams of animators and scientists who model the spacecraft and simulate the mission.
Steve will also share how his experience as an aerospace engineer provides good experience for managing the Video Club. Yes, it takes a rocket scientist. For info, contact Steve Carman, steve.carman@mac.com, 424-254-6583.
