Unfortunately, our presenter, Blake Crowther, has been called away to support another optical system space launch, so he will now be presenting on June 16, at the same time. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you June 16!
Dr. Crowther will discuss "An Inside Look at Optical Design with Mastcam-Z as an Example". Synopsys was a key partner in developing the Mastcam-Z and CacheCam imaging systems on Perseverance. The Mastcam-Z, which functions as the rover's mast-mounted scientific "eyes", is the first zoom lens system in deep space and is capable of generating stereoscopic images and resolving features as small as 3cm from a distance of 100m. Dr. Crowther was particularly involved in developing this lens systems which had to function in the harsh Martian environment as well as survive the journey from Earth and the Mars landing.
Presentation starts at 7:00 p.m. and is preceded by virtual networking at 6:30. Invite your friends and check out the entrepreneurial scene at the heart of San Gabriel Valley.
Hangout on Zoom after the presentation to continue sharing ideas, networking, and enjoying your favorite beverage.
