Edward C. Stone

A member of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Stone is the David Morrisroe Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology and former Director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (1991-2001). He has also served as Chair of Caltech's Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy and oversaw the development of the Keck Observatory as Vice President for Astronomical Facilities. Since 1972, Dr. Stone has been the project scientist for the Voyager Mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, coordinating the scientific study of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Netpune and Voyager's continuing exploration of the outer heliosphere and search for the edge of interstellar space.

He is President of the International Academy of Astronautics and a Vice President of COSPAR. Among his awards and honors, Dr. Stone received the National Medal of Science from President Bush (1991), the Magellanic Premium from the American Philosophical Society, and Distinguished Service Medals from NASA. In 1996, asteroid (5841) was named after him. Dr. Stone formerly served on the NRC Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Resources, Committee on Space Policy, the Space Studies Board, Planetary and Lunar Exploration Task Group, and the Committee on Space Astronomy and Astrophysics. He currently serves as an ex-officio member of the Space Studies Board.
