ATLAS Thermal Lead
Matthew Garrison is the thermal lead for the ATLAS instrument – making sure the systems stay steady as the space environment flashes from temperatures hundreds of degrees below freezing to above the point where water boils. He’s worked with several different missions at Goddard, including the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and with ATLAS has enjoyed participating in all stages of the project, from helping develop the concept and design, to assembling and testing the instrument. Matthew also runs marathons and brews beer.
