Ground Systems Manager
Jim Busch, ICESat-2’s ground systems manager, is responsible for the ground systems that will support the satellite when it launches. He’s been at Goddard since 1988, helping more than 20 missions, and says it has been a ’fantastic endeavor’, to constantly learn and work with smart people. 1988 was also the year Jim started brewing beer – he now has a home brewery and makes test beers for Victory Brewing Co., where he is also a director.
