NASA’s GLIDE Mission Renamed in Honor of Dr. George R. Carruthers – Carruthers Geocorona Observatory [1]
[]
Date: 2022-12-02
NASA has renamed its Global Lyman-alpha Imager of the Dynamic Exosphere, or GLIDE, mission in honor of Dr. George R. Carruthers.
On Dec. 2, 2022, Carruthers’ family and friends gathered with leaders from the mission’s participating institutions to officially name the mission the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory. The renaming event took place at Carruthers’ alma mater, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he earned his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees in the 1960s.

Updates on the mission will now be available on blogs.nasa.gov/carruthersgeocoronaobservatory.
