16 Strategic Plan MGA 3-Year Aviation Equipment Request GO Bonds

17 Return on Investment $4.50/$1 invested Macon Up to 30 new students in Macon Increased capacity in Eastman by 25 Increases overall aircraft availability Maintenance downtime improved T-Hangars will increase aircraft longevity & reduce maintenance costs UAS equipment will help develop that emerging program More accessibility for students & expand MGA s reach

18 Strategic Plan & Partnerships Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College: Ag Technical College System of Georgia Logistics & Advanced Manufacturing Atlanta Chattahoochee Central Georgia Albany Savannah Fire Starter/Afterburner Fab Lab

March 1996 FAA approves AMT and Flight Technology programs, classes begin in April July 2001 Eastman Center becomes the standalone Georgia Aviation Technical College July 2007 GATC consolidates with Middle Georgia College July 2012 Middle Georgia College and Macon State College consolidate to form Middle Georgia State College July 2015 Middle Georgia State College becomes Middle Georgia State University

20 JWST vs. Hubble Different Orbit Hubble is located in low Earth orbit, just 570km from the Earth s surface. In contrast, JWST will be more than 2500 times as far, 1.5 million km away, or roughly four times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. Why does this matter? To image effectively in infrared (heat) light, we need to be COLD (50K). Being at L2 puts all the big heat sources (Sun, Earth & Moon) in one part of the sky, making it easier to shield the telescope from that unwanted heat. JWST can dwell on one spot continuously for days at a time (versus ~25 minutes for Hubble)
