The JSASS Awards consist of Best Paper Award, Technology Award, and Young Researcher Award for members under 35 years old. JSASS provided nomination guidelines in the June 2017 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan and on the JSASS website, and nominations received by 18 August 2017 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 538th Board of Directors Meeting on 22 December 2017. 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 2018. The details of the review will be provided in the May 2018 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan.
