Dr F. Michael Flasar wins Lindsay Award

08/26/2011
Dr F. Michael Flasar of the Planetary Systems Laboratory, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, was awarded the John C. Lindsay Memorial Award for Space Science, in recognition of his very substantial and fundamental contributions to planetary and atmospheric science as Principal Investigator of the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument. Dr. Flasar is an active, hands-on leader involved in every aspect of the instrument operations and analysis, and the scientific output of this instrument would be greatly diminished without his capable direction and leadership. Mike is perhaps best known for his insightful work on Saturn¹s giant moon Titan using Voyager and Cassini data, and he is rightly regarded as one of the foremost experts on the meteorology of Titan.

Congratulations to the OSIRIS-REx Team!

05/25/2011
Today we heard that the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security - Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission was selected as the next New Frontiers class mission. OSIRIS-Rex is a sample return mission to an asteroid that will launch in 2016, and spend over a year exploring 1999 RQ36, acquire samples while providing geologic context, and return to Earth in 2023. GSFC will manage the mission and provide the OSIRIS-REx Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (OVIRS) instrument.

Saturn's Atmospheric Oscillation

03/29/2011


            		Michael Flasar of the Planetary Systems Laboratory recently co-authored two manuscripts that will be published in Geophysics Research Letters. The papers concern an evolution of the equatorial oscillation in Saturn's stratosphere between 2005 and 2010 studied with the Cassini-CIRS and Radio Science instruments. This new work provides important constraints on Saturn's atmospheric waves.

Drake Deming awarded the Beatrice Tinsley Prize

01/06/2010
Drake Deming has been awarded the Beatrice Tinsley Prize, announced at the AAS meeting today. The Tinsley Prize recognizes an outstanding research contribution to astronomy or astrophysics, of an exceptionally creative or innovative character. This prize is for Drake's innovative and pioneering work detecting thermal infrared emission from transiting extrasolar planets using the Spitzer Space Telescope.
