James Webb Telescope Issue - 4

Editors-in-Chief
THE BRIDGE, October 2022
Letter from the Editors-in-Chief
Dr. Sahra Sedigh
Sarvestani
Beta Chapter
This issue of THE BRIDGE magazine highlights engineering advancements
for space-based technology, to coincide with and celebrate the release of
images from the James Webb Space Telescope. We appreciate the efforts
of our guest editor, Dr. Sean Bentley (Gamma Theta Chapter) and the
authors of the feature articles on this thrilling topic.
This issue also celebrates the winners of the 2022 IEEE-HKN Awards
and Recognition program, whose contributions to the organization and
profession span technical achievements, service, and teaching.
The perfect bridge between these topics is an interview with Dr. Asad
Madni, who is an IEEE-HKN Eminent Member and recipient of the 2022
IEEE Medal of Honor, among many other career honors and awards. Dr.
Madni is a pioneer in technology for space-based telescopes and among
his creations is the control system for the Hubble Space Telescope's Star
Selector System. He is also the namesake of the IEEE-HKN Asad M. Madni
Outstanding Technical Achievement and Excellence Award, established
in 2019 and made possible through the generosity of the family, friends,
and colleagues of Dr. Madni.
