David is the founder of The Utah State University Space Situational Awareness Telescope for Astrodynamics Research. A remotely-operated small aperture (10") Imaging Dall-Kirkham astrograph located at USU's Bear Lake Observatory in Garden City, UT. The goal of USU-STAR is to provide a means to empirically validate astrodynamical theory developed for space surveillance, and to feed insight gained from the validation back to the theory.
