About this event
Monthly meetings are open to everyone; you do not have to be an INCOSE member to attend. Dinner is provided by the INCOSE Orlando Chapter and there is no cost to attend. If you are not a member, we invite you to become a member of the Orlando Chapter of INCOSE (http://www.incose.org/about/Membership/Join).
About the Presentation:
The two-part presentation will begin with A Systems Level Approach to Satellites: Thermal, Electrical Power, Telemetry and Command, and Altitude and Orbit Control Systems, along with Launch Methods, Orbits, and Orbital Perturbations. The second part will cover applying spacecraft and Earth station systems engineering principles to the bio-mechanics of the human body.
About the Presenter:
Dave Hutchieson hails from Scotland and now resides in Orlando with his wife, Pam. He holds a BSc (Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Strathclyde University and is a member of MIET, formerly IEE, the UK's equivalent to IEEE.
He served as a paratrooper in the 15th Scottish Volunteer Battalion of The Parachute Regiment, similar to the US National Guard Airborne. Professionally, he worked for ten years overseas with Cable and Wireless, focusing on Intelsat Standard A Earth Stations, which required extensive knowledge of control systems and mechanical engineering. During his career, he worked on various international projects, including in Chile, Romania, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, and NASA-related tasks on islands like Antigua, Bermuda, and Ascension Island. His work involved ensuring communication systems were operational for NASA's Space Shuttle missions.
In 2006, his life changed when a disk herniated in his lower back, resulting from an earlier parachuting accident. Despite successful initial treatment, a chiropractor's mishap left him crippled. Faced with severe pain, he studied anatomy and neurology extensively, learning Spanish to understand anatomical terms. He developed a theory regarding his Sacro-Iliac joint and found agreement with Al Meilus, a former GE robotics engineer. Meilus's therapeutic robot helped realign his SI joint, but recovery required over 1,533 hours of physical therapy over ten years.
Leveraging his knowledge, he has aided hundreds of veterans with back pain by analyzing posture and range of motion. His bio-engineering approach focuses on identifying and treating shortened muscles that cause spinal issues. Despite his challenges, he remains active, even completing a parachute jump after 30 years to inspire veterans.
