WCA researcher, Brian McNamara was awarded NASA’s Group Achievement Award as a member of the Lynx Astrophysics Large Mission Study Team for “the substantial and effective scientific, technical, and management work in developing the Large Mission Concept Studies for the 2020 Astrophysics Decadal Survey.”
"The award was given to the entire team of roughly 20 astrophysicists and engineers from around the world who developed the mission concept for the Lynx X-ray Observatory, which we hope will be NASA’s next flagship X-ray mission. I’m obviously gratified to get it. Developing the concept was a lot of work and a lot of fun over the past three years." said McNamara.
Congratulations Brian!
