BS, Engineering Physics, University of Arizona; Ph.D., Nuclear Engineering, University of Arizona. Dr. Britt has over 40 years experience in analytical research, engineering design, laboratory testing, and R&D management. Some areas of research and development have included space nuclear reactor systems, thermionic energy conversion, low energy plasma physics, laser concepts, and various other aspects of space power, propulsion and weapons detection. Dr. Britt is a co-founder of several research corporations including Cameron Technology Development Company, Rasor Associates, Inc; Space Power, Inc; International Scientific Products, and Russian- American Joint Stock Company INERTEK. Dr Britt was President and CEO of Space Power, Inc. when it was acquired by Pratt & Whitney Space Propulsion Division of United Technologies Corp.

As a member of Cameron’s Board of Directors and also a key contributor to the Strategy and Tactics Committee, Dr. Capots takes full advantage of his 40 plus years in the Aerospace industry and his 22 years of service at the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) and 5 years in Mission Success (MS) at Lockheed Martin.  Prior to that he held high level positions at Loral Space (Director of IR&D), Computer Technology Associates Inc. (VP and CTO), Southwest Research Institute and Fairchild Space Systems (Senior Engineering Manager  and Director of IR&D).   Larry has been responsible for the design, development, and delivery of flight hardware for civil and military space programs.  He is the inventor of the Solid State Recorder (SSR) which changed the flight data recording market as these recorders became an enabling technology for advanced space communication architectures and high bandwidth satellite imagery.  

Upon joining Lockheed, he managed the Innovative Initiative portion of the ATC IRAD portfolio and contributed many forward thinking concepts that have opened the aerospace community to distributed architectures for space platforms and he is the inventor of ultra-efficient spacecraft structures for high power communications payloads.  He has led Independent Review Teams, where he used his excellent technical insights to drive to the root cause of problems.

Larry is a graduate of Georgetown University in Washington, DC where he received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Low Temperature Solid State Physics.  He received his BS in Physics from Youngstown State University in Ohio.

Larry is also a Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (SEL, MEL, and CFI), FAA Gold Seal Instructor, and he holds an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certificate.  He remains active in teaching today.
