The JSASS Awards consist of Best Paper Award, Technology Award, and Encouragement Award for members under 35 years old. JSASS provided nomination guidelines in the July 2020 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan and on the JSASS website, and nominations received by 10 August 2020 were reviewed strictly and carefully by each award selection committee. The committees recommended two recipients for Best Paper Award, two recipients for Technology Award [one for Basic Technology Category and one for Project Category], and three recipients for Young Researcher Award. The committee recommendations were submitted to the JSASS Board of Directors and endorsed at the 579th Board of Directors Meeting on 18 December 2020. The JSASS would like to announce all of our members this year’s awards recipients. Also, these awards will be presented with an extra prize at the JSASS Annual General Meeting to be held in April 2021. The details of the review will be provided in the May 2021 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan.
