On Jan. 29, Dr. Brock LaMeres, professor of electrical and computer engineering at MSU, will present “From Montana to the Moon,” the story of the space computer that was developed at MSU over the past decade and made it to the moon in 2025. He will describe NASA’s future plans and how technology made in Montana can potentially contribute to future missions.
For the past 20 years LaMeres has researched ways to make computers operate reliably in space. His “RadPC” has been on numerous NASA-funded missions, including three trips to the International Space Station.
A 1998 MSU graduate, LaMeres received his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado. He has written five textbooks and holds 16 patents on digital systems. He was born and grew up in Billings.
