Craig Chester is a co-founder and past president of the Monterey (California) Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA). Founded more than two decades ago, MIRA is the only American professional observatory established in this century that is independent of universities and of the federal government. Its observatory (at one of the best sites in the U.S.), its educational programs, and its state-of-the-art research are funded almost entirely by private donors who wish to support basic science at a unique institution. As a software consultant, Dr. Chester has worked on a variety of U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force projects, developing ground equipment and software tools for satellite communications. He holds a Ph.D. in astronomy from Case Western Reserve University.
