Career
[edit]Nancy Chabot earned her B.A. inphysicsfromRice Universityin 1994.[1]After earning her Ph.D. inplanetary sciencefrom theUniversity of Arizonain 1999,[2]Chabot worked at theJohnson Space CenterinHouston,then atCase Western Reserve UniversityinCleveland.She joined the Applied Physics Laboratory atJohns Hopkins Universityin 2005.
She has been a member of five field teams that traveled toAntarcticawith theAntarctic Search for Meteorites(ANSMET) program to collectmeteorites.[3]In 2001, Chabot was awarded the United StatesAntarctic Service Medal.[1]
On NASA'sMESSENGERmission, she served as the Instrument Scientist for the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) and the Chair of the Geology Discipline Group. She was the lead for MDIS-based scientific investigations ofMercury'spolar, radar-bright, ice-bearingcratersand led the release of web images since MESSENGER's first flyby of Mercury in January 2008.[4]
Currently, she is the Deputy PI for the Mars-moon Exploration with GAmma rays and NEutrons (MEGANE) instrument on the JAXA Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission.
She is also the Coordination Lead on NASA'sDouble Asteroid Redirection Test(DART) mission, which was led by APL.[5]
She is a Fellow of theMeteoritical Society,and Asteroid (6899) Nancychabot is named in her honor.[1]
