SUMMARY:NASA Tech Talks
DESCRIPTION:We want HOU! Join us to discover NASA’s toughest tech challenges and apply your skills and expertise to solve them.\n\nIn these presentations\, occurring on the fourth Thursday of the month\, Mr. Montgomery Goforth\, Assistant Director\, Strategic Pursuits & Partnerships – Engineering Directorate\, NASA JSC\, and other aerospace subject matter experts will discuss the technology development challenges faced by NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) and the surrounding Aerospace community in our ongoing efforts as the hub of human spaceflight. Presentations will focus on how these challenges\, and the associated opportunities\, can be leveraged by Houston’s innovation community.\n\nJoin us after the talk for drinks and networking at Second Draught!\n\nNASA Tech Talks topics include dual-use (space/terrestrial) technologies and focus areas in:\n\n\n\nAvionics / Communication / Sensors\nRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for ultra-long-lived wireless sensors\nPower Storage and Distribution\nAutonomous & Robotics Systems\nExtra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) Systems\nVirtual/Augmented Reality in Human Spaceflight Training & Execution\nHuman Health & Performance / Human Systems Research\nNASA Intellectual Property suitable for commercialization by small/start-up companies\nOrion’s parachutes and risk identification and mitigation strategies\nLeveraging Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for ultra-long-lived wireless sensors\nFeatured speakers from Intuitive Machines and Orbital Mining Corporation\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nMontgomery B. Goforth has over 30 years of experience as both an Engineer and Manager in various highly technical space and defense-related efforts. He joined NASA in 1990 as part of the Mission Operations Directorate\, working on planning systems and automated procedure execution tools for the International Space Station (ISS). He became Deputy Project Manager for the Portable Computer System\, the laptop used for command and control of the ISS\, in 1996. He became Chief of the Branch responsible for all laptops onboard the ISS and the Space Shuttle. \n\n\nIn 2002 he moved to the ISS Avionics and Software Office as Manager of the Flight Software Development Office and later served as Chief Engineer. In 2005\, he spent several months at NASA Headquarters working in the Robotics Lunar Exploration Program. In 2006\, he joined the Constellation Program as Chief of Avionics and Software Test and Verification and became Chief of the Software and Avionics Integration Office in 2007. In this role\, he was responsible for leading a large nationwide Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) organization which provided program-level coordination\, oversight\, integration\, and management of the system-of-systems avionics and software\, including the coordination of integrated modeling and simulation and test activities across the Constellation program and the technical integration of Constellation’s Command\, Control\, Communications\, and Information (C3I) architecture.\n\n In 2011 he joined the Avionic Systems Division to support their Strategic Planning and Partnership efforts. In 2015\, he moved on to Engineering Directorate Staff to support Strategic Pursuits and Partnerships. In this role\, he put together a framework to focus better Engineering’s efforts toward Human Spaceflight technology and systems development consistent with JSC and Agency goals for exploration. This framework guides Engineering’s internal investments and external partnerships supporting Lunar and Mars Exploration.\n\n Mr. Goforth was born in East Texas\, raised in Southern California and Arizona\, and graduated from Rice University (BSME 1982\, MSME 1987). Before coming to Johnson Space Center\, he was employed by a small defense contractor specializing in anti-submarine warfare.\n\n\nFor January’s NASA Tech Talk\, we are featuring the following technology development efforts underway at NASA JSC: \n\nDisruptive Filter Technology for Spacecraft Water Treatment:  The New Promise of Graphene – Michael Callahan\nFull Lunar Surface Visualization and Simulation Platform – Terry Mayes\nLunar dust capture using novel multiplexed inertial filter – John Graf\nImproved Breathing Cartridge – Lawrence Barrett\nLunar Passive Fuel Cell Technologies: Evaporator Element + Fluid Polishing Element – Thomas Cognata\nDeveloping Health Assessment Methods for Metallic Components Using Acoustic Emission Testing – Steven Garcia\, Sonus Consulting\, LLC.\nLunar Surface Position Determination using Perceived Signal Strength – Michael Evans
