AAE Associate Professor James L. Garrison Honored with ION Award

AAE Associate Professor James L. Garrison has been honored with the Institute of Navigation (ION) Tycho Brahe Award. The award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the science of space navigation, guidance, and control. Dr. Garrison was acknowledged for his contributions to developing and applying GNSS, and other signals-of-opportunity, reflectometry methods for space-based and airborne remote sensing, in oceanography, agriculture, and hydrology. The award was presented during ION’s winter meeting, the International Technical Meeting (ITM), which was held January 25-28 in Monterey, CA.

Dr. Garrison was previously honored by ION with an Early Achievement Award (2001) for his contributions to the development of algorithms for satellite navigation in highly elliptical orbits, and the use of GPS reflections for remote sensing.
