We won an Emmy Award for our coverage of the Grand Finale of NASA's Cassini Mission to Saturn with “Outstanding Original Interactive Program!" The award was presented to us on Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQMLt
Family Day 2018 brought relatives and friends of JPLers up to date on what’s going on at the Lab! At the Mars Exploration area, spacecraft mechanical engineer Mike Meacham enjoyed the opportunity to show his family some of the projects going on at JPL. “I’m surrounded by a lot of this stuff, but seeing it presented so well, where people are available to ask questions and everyone is friendly … I really like that JPL does these types of things,” Meacham said.
"I look forward to my work every day as I have a great team of people to work with at NASA JPL, and there are always new and exciting things happening!" Meet Aadil, an Embedded / Flight Software Engineer who graduated from CU Boulder with his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering. Aadil is currently the Lead Flight Software Engineer on the Lunar Flashlight and Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) Scout Cubesat missions. His team is building the software that will fly onboard the Lunar Flashlight Cubesat, mapping the lunar south pole for volatiles, and the Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) Scout Cubesat, performing reconnaissance of an asteroid using a CubeSat and solar sail propulsion.
Meet Carl, an Australian who studied Aerospace Engineering at University of Sydney with a distant dream to work at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory one day. This dream led to Carl coming to the U.S. to pursue his MS and PhD degrees, also in Aerospace Engineering. Since being at JPL, Carl has worked on a variety of research and technology developments, but he is currently designing the hashtag#EuropaClipper thruster-based attitude controller, which will enable the spacecraft to explore the Jovian system!
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory researcher Morgan Cable has been named one of the “Talented 12” rising stars by C&EN! The Talented 12 were selected from about 350 nominations for the annual honor. Cable, from JPL’s Imaging Spectroscopy Group, focuses on organic and biomarker detection strategies through in-situ and remote-sensing techniques. One of her current chemistry experiments mimics the conditions on Saturn's moon Titan. "I'm interested in trying to understand what kinds of physical and chemical processes can happen on a world like this," she says. She studied chemistry at Florida Atlantic University, followed by a summer internship at JPL her junior year. She started developing a way to detect life in extreme environments, which began her Ph.D. thesis as a California Institute of Technology - Caltech graduate student. After earning a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry in 2010, she served as a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow at JPL, designing lab-on-a-chip instruments to search for biomarkers, molecules indicative of life.
