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 2023 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan and on the JSASS website, and nominations received by 18 August 2023 were reviewed strictly and carefully by each award selection committee. The committees recommended two recipients for Best Paper Award, two recipients for Technology Award [two 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 619th Board of Directors Meeting on 22 December 2023. 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 2024. The details of the review will be provided in the May 2024 issue of Aeronautical and Space Sciences Japan.
