Minds Over Materials, Ep. 4 - Beryllium, an Element of Success for the James Webb Space Telescope
For the last thirty years, scientists and space nerds alike have been wowed by the beautiful and mysterious images the Hubble Telescope has been beaming back to Earth from its vantage point 340 miles above Earth. But in approximately 100 days, NASA will launch Hubble’s successor - the James Webb Space Telescope, where it will orbit a million miles from Earth and attempt to show scientists the dawn of the universe.
In this episode, host Marissa Milliron, talks to two Materion team members who have been deeply involved with providing NASA some of the advanced materials from Materion that are part of this technological leap into space - Keith Smith and Martyn Acreman from the Performance Alloys and Composites business.
