CAI provides engineering and scientific support for the development of advanced laser and lidar systems for autonomous safe landing on solar system bodies and atmospheric measurements. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, laboratory space at CAI facilities was quickly allocated and reconfigured so projects could continue without disruption in a safe and protected environment for the engineering team members. For this reason, CAI was nominated and won this agency-level award.
Congratulations to the entire CAI - SSAI- NASA team!
