- >From the level of a single detector on up to the entire telescope as a

- and how the HST automatically rode through it all without a scratch.

- Support Branch at the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore MD. He
- heads the group of engineers who monitor the performance of the Hubble
- Space Telescope's instruments. Prior to this, he was the Technical Director
