About the Speakers: John Applewhite

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS John Applewhite

John Applewhite is currently the Chief of the Propulsion Systems Branch in the Propulsion & Power Division (PPD) at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston. A graduate of Texas A&M University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, he began his career at NASA in 1989 and now leads a group responsibility for the development and oversight of spacecraft propulsion systems for human spaceflight including systems on the Orion, Commercial Crew, and International Space Station programs.

The Propulsion Systems Branch at JSC is also actively involved in technology development and demonstration efforts relevant to human exploration missions with a focus on integrated liquid oxygen (LO2)/methane (CH4) propulsion and integrated spacecraft systems. In his 27 year career at NASA, John has worked primarily in the field of propulsion having previously served as a Subsystem Manager for the Space Shuttle Orbiter Reaction Control System, a System Manager for the ISS propulsion elements and visiting vehicles, a NASA Systems Engineer for the Orbiter Main Propulsion System, and as the Division Chief Engineer with responsibility over all PPD Space Shuttle Orbiter systems including the main propulsion orbital maneuvering and reaction control, and auxiliary power systems. Outside of propulsion, John also served as a Project Lead Engineer for the Orion Crew Module vehicle and as a branch chief in the Vehicle Systems Engineering & Integration Branch.

About the Speakers: Charles Chase

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Charles Chase

Charles Chase manages the Revolutionary Technology Programs organization for the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. The organization’s charter is to create, mature, and transition a broad range of disruptive technologies with significant Lockheed Martin system impact.

Technology focus areas include: power and propulsion systems; RF and optical meta-materials; cognitive and physiological human performance monitoring; new sensor modalities; adaptive and bio-inspired structures; and plasma flow control devices.

He recently won the Lockheed Martin Innovate the Future contest with “Power from Low Speed Wind”, and was a semifinalist in the Buckminster Fuller Challenge with “Bio-Inspired Morphing” to eliminate design stagnation. He presented his organization’s work on compact fusion power and propulsion at the 2013 Google “Solve for <X>” event. He was a low observable engineer on the F-117A production program and has also worked for the Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company as an electromagnetics group lead. He is a co-founder of CBH Technologies, a start-up developing next generation lighting technology and holds numerous patents.

About the Speakers: Nick Gonzales

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Nick Gonzales

Nick Gonzales serves as Director of Systems Engineering at Lockheed Martin (LM) Space Systems Company (SSC). He is responsible for approximately 1500 engineers and accountable for systems engineering and technology strategy spanning all products, from sensor systems and missile defense to human spaceflight and deep-space missions.

Previously, Mr. Gonzales performed the duties of Director and Chief Engineer for Lockheed Martin Space Systems Advanced Interceptor Programs. In this role, he was responsible for guiding the design of Lockheed Martin’s offering for the next generation interceptor kill vehicle. The purpose of this kill vehicle was to enhance homeland defense against missile attack. When the Government decided they would assemble the best industry had to offer into a cohesive design, Mr. Gonzales served as the LM representative to that industry team.

Prior to embarking on that journey, Mr. Gonzales dedicated a large portion of his career to developing and fielding the THAAD interceptor. He started this effort in the systems test group where he set up the launch control room for implementation of countdown go/no-go operations and managed the $90M development of the production test equipment used to ATP the missile rounds. He served as the manager of systems integration when the focus was on getting the interceptor qualified for flight. Mr. Gonzales transitioned to CSE during the flight test program, focusing on flight test mission success and on resolving issues discovered during flight operations. Finally, he served as the Director and CE of the THAAD interceptor, driving hard to obtain the approval of the United States Government to release the interceptor to the war fighters in order to defend our troops, friends, and allies in their theater of operation. The THAAD Missile Program employed approximately 200-700 people, dependent on the particular point in the life cycle, and continues to generate 400 million in sales to both US and Foreign Militaries for Lockheed Martin each year.

Under his leadership, the THAAD missile team has provided the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Nation with a missile system that has demonstrated groundbreaking capability and reliably achieving a perfect mission success record. Mr. Gonzales has actively participated in and led the development efforts associated with Missile Systems, Missile Software, Missile Structure/Propulsion Elements and all Test Equipment.

Mr. Gonzales has over 28 years of successful hands on engineering experience and has held leadership positions in Engineering and Program Management. He received his bachelors of science in mechanical engineering from San Jose State University with a minor in electronics. He is a recipient of the prestigious Lockheed Martin NOVA award and has received various other recognition awards from the corporation.
