Dr. Jordin Kare | | Dr. Jordin Kare is with Intellectual Ventures (www.intven.com) as a staff inventor and program manager. He is also the Chief Scientist for LaserMotive (www.lasermotive.com). Dr. Kare received his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1984. From 1985 to 1996 he was a member of the Special Projects Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. At Livermore, he became involved in a number of space-related projects, ranging from mission planning for the Clementine lunar mapping mission to designing Mockingbird, a miniature reusable launch vehicle with a dry weight of 150 lbs. Since 1997, he has operated an independent consulting service, Kare Technical Consulting, providing technical support to large and small aerospace companies interested in applying new technology to space missions. In 1986, while at Livermore, Dr. Kare became interested in the concept of laser launch [, the main subject of our program today]. In 1986, he organized a national Workshop on Laser Propulsion, and from 1987 to 1991 he ran the Laser Propulsion Program for the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO). Since then he has continued to work on laser propulsion, and recently served on the Program Committee of the First International Symposium on Beamed Energy Propulsion (the Fourth Symposium was recently held in Japan). Dr. Kare is also a writer and performer of songs about space, science, and science fiction; his song, "Fire In The Sky" was quoted by Buzz Aldrin on national television in the wake of the Columbia disaster. | Appeared on the following broadcasts:
