"Feldman's work was notable for its great breadth and depth, said Harold (Hal) Weaver, research professor in the department, principal professional staff at Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory, and a former student of Feldman's. Feldman first ventured into the field of cometary science with an ultraviolet sounding rocket experiment to observe the Comet Kohoutek in 1974, and made an inventory of the hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon abundances in the comet's coma. For the rest of his career, he was what Weaver describes as a 'planetary archaeologist,' investigating the origin and evolution of our solar system." He did groundbreaking work in the fields of planetary and satellite atmospheres and astronomical instrumentation. Using sounding rockets, he studied "the Earth's upper atmosphere, the aurora and the airglow, the atmospheres of comets and planets, the spectra of hot stars, and cosmic background radiation." Quotations are a small sample from a more extensive article detailing Feldman's broad achievements: https://hub.jhu.edu/2022/01/31/paul-feldman-obituary/ 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: 2022 HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT SYMPOSIUM On behalf of the HVIS board of directors, we invite you to submit an abstract to the upcoming Hypervelocity Impact Symposium, to be held in Alexandria, VA September 18-22.

This short workshop will be held on February 15, from 2:30 - 5:00 pm EST. The goals of the workshop are to gauge community interest in and support for continuous lunar orbital capabilities and to stimulate community discussion that will result in follow-up input to the CLOC-SAT Team. The kick-off session will have four invited speakers providing perspectives on different aspects of this topic. The speakers will be followed by breakout discussions for input from the broader community. These discussion sessions will focus on the interwoven "why" (unanswered science and exploration goals and objectives, "what" (observations and measurements to address the objectives), and "how" (architectures and implementation needs over the next decades). After the kick-off, we encourage community members to prepare and submit diverse and thoughtful 'white papers' that will feed into the CLOC-SAT report. Registration is free, but is required to ensure you receive virtual connection information and agenda for the kickoff.
