Bert R. Bulkin
Bertram Raoul Bulkin (July 20, 1929 – March 10, 2012) was an American Aeronautical engineering, aeronautical engineer who participated in the first United States Spy satellite, photo-reconnaissance satellite programs and is best known for his role in building the Hubble Space Telescope. Biography Early life and education Bulkin was born in Brooklyn, Brooklyn, New York, the son of David Bulkin and Anne Clara Strauss, both immigrants. He was named after Berel Reven Bulkin, a paternal uncle from the Kiev area of Ukraine. After residing briefly in Springfield, Massachusetts, he and his family returned to Brooklyn, where he attended P.S. 197, an elementary school. Bulkin was graduated from John Marshall High School (Los Angeles, California), John Marshall High School (Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California) in 1946 at age 16. He then attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering. During his time ...

Aeronautical Engineering
Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. It has two major and overlapping branches: Aeronautics, aeronautical engineering and Astronautics, astronautical engineering. Avionics engineering is similar, but deals with the electronic engineering, electronics side of aerospace engineering. "Aeronautical engineering" was the original term for the field. As flight technology advanced to include vehicles operating in outer space, the broader term "aerospace engineering" has come into use. Aerospace engineering, particularly the astronautics branch, is often colloquially referred to as "rocket science". Overview Flight vehicles are subjected to demanding conditions such as those caused by changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature, with structural loads applied upon vehicle components. Consequently, they are usually the products of various technological and engineering disciplines including aerodynamics, A ...
