Telescope Optical Designer
The design of the telescope currently resides in the mind of the Founder, Rocky Dezelle. The ultimate design and creation of the overall telescope, mirrors, and photon flow require detailed knowledge of the Spinning Furnace concept to ensure timely fruition of prescription for the mirrors, and their photon control.
One who has experience with large mirror molding will be required to lay in the basics of our observatory.
The Observatory’s products of vivid images, deep analysis of our universe’s origins, planet finding, and magneto-optical properties under study will depend on a working photon bucket. The Optical Designer will take charge and ensure completion.

Infrastructure Designer
Join our team as a designer of the hardware holding our 7-mirror flower petal light bucket, so the photons pour into our instrumentation bay, aft of the mirror deck.
Keeping our observatory pointed to the exquisite degree required will take an engineering team to get the hardware working down here in the gravity well, then tested for launch. Getting our hardware ready for mounting in the Starship cargo holds will require an astronaut’s viewpoint.
Once on orbit, regular visits by Starships will ensure the current hardware the same way Hubble was regularly visited, upgraded. The habitat will be manned in perpetuity, so will be included in the basic design of the spacecraft.

Astro-Photography Specialist
Join our team as the Head Astro-Photography Specialist, create the instrument bay, pour our photons into instruments as required for individual missions. Exquisite imagery for public consumption is only the tip of the iceberg. Data collection and analysis of the various scientific missions demands superb knowledge of the detectors available at launch, for incorporation on the instrument bay, aft of the mirror deck.
