Jeff Hayden retired from Lockheed Martin Astronautics (LMA) in Denver on
June 30, 1999 as an aerospace systems engineer. He recently worked on NASA's
network design for the CSOC program. His concepts will be used to implement
Internet Protocols at the science instrument and on-board the spacecraft. He
described new spacecraft architectures that would operate in an Internet
environment. His Internet concepts are now baselined into the CSOC program's
future infrastructure.
Mr. Hayden has performed initial spacecraft system designs for the AFRL's
Advanced Technology Demonstration Spacecraft (ATDS), which is the model for the
TechSat21 initiative, the Mars Climate Observer, Mars Polar Lander, Stardust,
Genesis, and Space Based Laser. His concepts for ultra-miniaturized, highly
capable electronics is the cornerstone of the technology thrust in progress at
LMA today and much of the electronics will be incorporated into the
ATDS/TechSat21 programs
Jeff's original expertise was as an instrument designer. He designed
miniature mass spectrometers for Aerobee sounding rockets and for the
Atmosphere Explorer C, D, and E satellites back in the sixties for the
University of Minnesota. He designed the prototype for and leant extensive (2
years) consultation to the vendor for the Upper Atmosphere Mass Spectrometer
for the Viking missions in the early '70's. He spent 2 years with a medical
implantables company and designed a valve for an implantable artificial bladder
sphincter in the mid '70's. While at Lockheed Martin, he designed the
instrument systems for Net Flux Radiometer for Galileo Probe and for the Gamma
Ray Spectrometer for Mars Observer.
Jeff received a Bachelor of Physics degree at the University of Minnesota in
1969. He spent 6 years, from 1963 to 1969, in the US Air Force Reserve program
in Minneapolis, Minnesota as a Navigational Equipment Repairman. He received
an honorable discharge.
The company for which Jeff Hayden is the Manager, PresciPoint Solutions,
L.L.C., was started in February 2000. Jeff is working with the NASA Glenn
Research Center implementing the Internet in-space concepts mentioned above.
