SSAIers have been busy helping to plan and lead events in celebration of Earth Day 2022.

SSAI’s David Giles (from NASA’s AERONET program out of Goddard Space Flight Center) recently visited the San Jose campus of the University of Costa Rica and trained members of the Ticosonde project to align and maintain their new AERONET instrument on the roof of the university’s Gas Lab. 

SSAI’s Lucia (“Lucy”) Lee serves as the Ground Systems Manager for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Mission Operations Control Center (MOCC) at NASA Langley Research Center. In recognition of her continuous display of dedication, professionalism, and her pioneering spirit, Lucy was honored with the NASA Exceptional Public Service Medal.

We’re kicking off our Anniversary month with a new monthly series - “SSAI Spotlights”. Our goal is to shine a light on the unique and wonderful people that make up SSAI and who have worked together to help SSAI grow over the past 45 years. First up is Ciara Smith, the Command and Telemetry Database Lead for the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) mission.

SSAI’s dedication to helping employees grow in high demand areas has led us to invest in an accelerator program designed to significantly improve skills within the machine learning field in a short amount of time.
