Thomas Lund worked 50 years as an aerospace engineer. After graduating from college, he began working on the Terrier surface-to-air missile from initial design to flight test. He then spent three years as Electronics Officer in the U.S. Navy evaluating naval air-to-air missile systems against electronic countermeasures. He went on to analyze the Doppler navigation systems and then functioned as technical lead for development of the landing radar for the Surveyor spacecraft. He was instrumental in winning the contract for the landing radar for the Apollo Lunar Module and functioned as technical lead for development of that radar. He worked as Technical Director of the Advanced Systems group for a major aerospace company and led the development of three new product lines in areas of fiber optics, radar altimeters, and missile detection radars. Latterly, he was a consultant for predesign and analysis of the Rendezvous Radar for the Space Shuttle.
“For anyone interested in learning more about the technology behind Apollo and its predecessors, I would recommend this book as an interesting and useful reference.” (Peter Bond, The Observatory, Vol. 139 (1273), December, 2019)
