Julie White has been with The Aerospace Corporation for over 50 years. She is currently a Senior Project Leader in the System Integration and Test Office (SITO). She has vast experience with requirements analysis, systems integration, systems test and operations. She has helped architect “like you fly” “days in the life” tests for four R&D missions. She has analyzed trends and engineering implications of on-orbit anomalies. The large number of serious anomalies whose escapes could have been prevented by consistent implementation of Test Like You Fly (TLYF) techniques formed the motivator for creating a TLYF assessment process. She was a contributor to the 1st edition of the Space Vehicle Test and Evaluation Handbook (The Aerospace Corporation, 2006) and senior editor and contributor for the 2nd edition of this book (The Aerospace Corporation, 2011). She updated the TLYF chapter and other related topics. She has written and presented several papers on TLYF, as well as others on risk management, mission development, satellite End-of-Life trends, and other on-orbit assessment results. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics / Astronomy from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD and a Masters degree in Astronomy from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. |
