SSERVI Award Winners 2022

07/19/2022
Recognizing that science and exploration go hand in hand, NASA created SSERVI in 2013 to advance human exploration of the Moon and other solar system destinations. The SSERVI Awards recognize outstanding achievement in exploration science and recipients have each made unique contributions to NASA’s human exploration efforts. SSERVI Award winners are nominated by their academic peers and are selected by a committee based at SSERVI’s central office. The awards will be presented along with invited lectures from the recipients at the 2022 NASA Exploration Science Forum (NESF) taking place July 19-21. It is our great pleasure to announce this year’s SSERVI award winners. Each is exceptionally deserving, and each is an outstanding member of our community, providing both exceptional science and strong leadership.

Susan Mahan Niebur Early Career Award: Dr. O.J. Tucker and Dr. Kelsey Young

Angioletta Coradini Mid-Career Award: Dr. Carolyn van der Bogert

Michael J. Wargo Exploration Science Award: Dr. Ben Bussey

Eugene Shoemaker Distinguished Scientist Medal Dr. Lisa Gaddis

Each of this year’s winners is exceptionally deserving, and it’s an honor to work with them to help further our great efforts as we get ever closer to what we all hope is a permanent presence on our Moon.

Received Lunar Advanced Science and Exploration Research Funding

04/05/2010
SSEDSO received LASER (Lunar Advanced Science and Exploration Research) funding to restore and analyze the Apollo 17 Lunar Atmospheric Composition Experiment (LACE) data held at NSSDC, roughly 8 months of data from the lunar surface measuring the composition of the tenuous lunar atmosphere. The data were stored on magnetic tapes in old formats and have been read and converted to ASCII tables. The data are being analyzed and prepared for archive with the PDS.
