Edward C. Wells Professor Emeritus
Department of Aero and Astro
277 Durand mc 4035
Stanford University
Stanford, CA 94305-4035
ddebra@stanford.edu
|
Research
Interests: Professor DeBra is involved with robotic space research. He collaborates
with Stanford physicists on three projects: Gravity Probe-B (GP-B), Space
Test of the Equivalence Principle (STEP), and the vibration isolation of
a gravity-wave antenna. These involve satellite control of attitude and
translation and the development of instruments of extraordinary precision
and accuracy. |

Research
Interests: Professor Twiggs' main interest is in the development, launch
and operation of small low-cost satellites for space applications feasibility
demonstrations and the space qualification of new spacecraft components.
He is also involved in the development of low-cost satellite communications
for command, control and data acquisition at remote earth locations, and
in the miniaturization development of space experiments for low-cost spacecraft
missions. |

Ronald
N. Bracewell
|
Research
in image construction, fast algorithms and solar physics, and more specifically
computerized x-ray tomography, radio astronomy, astronomical imaging, antennas,
large moving structures, Fourier analysis, image and reconstruction, and
Hartley transform. The “Friends
of Bracewell” attempted to halt the demolition
of five 60’ antenna dishes built by Professor Bracewell and utilized
for eleven years to produce the first automatically printed daily solar
weather maps, as well as in support of the first human Moon landing. |

for International Cooperation in Space Communications Networks, Ground Station
Engineering, and Digital and Photonic Switch Design. Professor Lusignan
designs and introduces advanced communications and space systems, including
satellite television stations, low cost two-way voice stations, and high
data-rate stations. He directs an international planning effort for cooperative
exploration of Mars. He directs a weekly seminar on war and peace, trade
and environment, and poverty and prejudice. Professor Lusignan is teaching
a course on Lunar Utilization in 2005. |
