Mr. Michael R. Johnson is a Chief Mechatronics Engineer in the Spacecraft Mechanical Engineering Division at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He has been working at JPL since 1986 and has designed spaceflight hardware for many missions to Earth and the outer planets. Michael was the Chief Engineer of a small rover for asteroid exploration in microgravity that incorporated high-voltage electrostatic dust rejection on its solar panels and used electroactive polymers for a lens cleaning wiper function.
He has provided structural, mechanism, and control system engineering for parade floats, entertainment mechanisms around the world for the Disney Company, and provides engineering analysis for several elements of the movie industry, including the design of gyro-stabilized camera platforms and cranes.
Michael also worked on developing carbon nanotube power transistors with a startup company where he was responsible for the process control system designs and the development of plasma and radio frequency enhancements to the nanotube growth process.
