| Description |
The international society for optics and photonics known as SPIE has awarded the 2013 George W. Goddard award to NASA's Harvey Moseley. Moseley, a senior astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., will receive the award at the August 2013 SPIE meeting in San Diego. Moseley received the award "in recognition of his extraordinary inventions of superconducting imaging arrays for astronomy, ranging from sub-millimeter bolometers to energy sensitive X-ray microcalorimeters, and even dark matter detectors, as well as microshutter arrays for the James Webb Space Telescope near-infrared spectrometer." According to SPIE, the George W. Goddard Award is given annually in recognition of exceptional achievement in optical or photonic instrumentation for aerospace, atmospheric science or astronomy. The award is for the invention and development of a new technique, photonic instrumentation, instrument or system. "This is tremendous recognition of Harvey's genius in conceiving and realizing new technologies that enable revolutionary new science," said Nicholas E. White, the director of the Sciences and Exploration Directorate at NASA Goddard. "Well deserved!" Moseley's microshutter array is a micromechanical device which will allow the James Webb Space Telescope to make its most critical observations one hundred times faster. The Webb's microshutters promise to enable detailed study of the first galaxies to form in the universe after the big bang. NASA's Harvey Moseley (pictured here) is developing the MicroSpec instrument (onto a silicon wafer measuring just four inches) that could provide a picture of how the cosmos developed into the kind of place that could support life like that found on Earth. Moseley is pictured here with a device he developed to demonstrate MicroSpec's superconducting circuits. Credit: NASA Subscribe to our YouTube channel |
