    Douglas Rowland previously served (June 2018-April 2023) as the Chief of the Ionosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere Physics Laboratory in the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. His research interests include the dynamics of the upper atmosphere, and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the ionosphere. His primary research activities have involved the analysis of electric field and particle data, primarily from sounding rockets, and the development of sounding rocket electric field instrumentation to address problems in ionospheric physics and M-I coupling.


    Dr. Rowland currently serves as the Project Scientist for the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) mission. Dr. Rowland previously served as the Mission Scientist for the ICON Explorer Mission, as the Project Scientist for the ASTRE Phase A Concept Study, and as Deputy PI for the MEME-X Phase A Concept Study. Dr. Rowland led the first NASA Goddard scientific Cubesat mission, "Firefly", which operated for four years on orbit, and has developed experiments for small satellites and the International Space Station, as well as over 17 sounding rocket payloads.

    Brief Bio

    Douglas Rowland previously served (June 2018-April 2023) as the Chief of the Ionosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere Physics Laboratory in the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. His research interests include the dynamics of the upper atmosphere, and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the ionosphere. His primary research activities have involved the analysis of electric field and particle data, primarily from sounding rockets, and the development of sounding rocket electric field instrumentation to address problems in ionospheric physics and M-I coupling.


    Dr. Rowland currently serves as the Project Scientist for the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) mission. Dr. Rowland previously served as the Mission Scientist for the ICON Explorer Mission, as the Project Scientist for the ASTRE Phase A Concept Study, and as Deputy PI for the MEME-X Phase A Concept Study. Dr. Rowland led the first NASA Goddard scientific Cubesat mission, "Firefly", which operated for four years on orbit, and has developed experiments for small satellites and the International Space Station, as well as over 17 sounding rocket payloads.
