Recipients 2021

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 June 2021 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan and on the JSASS website, and nominations received by 16 August 2021 were reviewed strictly and carefully by each award selection committee. The committees recommended two recipients for Best Paper Award, one recipients for Technology Award [one for Basic Technology Category], and three recipients for Encouragement Award. The committee recommendations were submitted to the JSASS Board of Directors and endorsed at the 593th Board of Directors Meeting on 27 January 2022. 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 2022. The details of the review will be provided in the May 2022 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan.
