SPIE George W. Goddard Award

2013
Recipient: Samuel Harvey Moseley (660)
This is given annually by the SPIE in recognition of exceptional achievement in optical or photonic instrumentation for aerospace, atmospheric science, or astronomy. Harvey Moseley received this award in recognition of his extraordinary inventions of superconducting imaging arrays for astronomy, ranging from submillimeter bolometers to energy sensitive X-ray microcalorimeters, and even dark matter detectors, as well as microshutter arrays for the James Webb Space Telescope near IR spectrometer.

Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship

May, 2013
Recipient: Michael W McElwain (667)
Mike was first selected last year, along with 2 other scientists, to complete a phase-A study for his proposed instrument development.
