Solomey receives NASA award

Professor Frank Drake of the Drake Equation in Astronomy and founder of Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, congratulates WSU Physics Professor Nick Solomey (left in picture above) for his NASA Innovation Advanced Concept Award at NASA headquarters on June 5.

Drake hopes Solomey's idea and NASA mission project will lead to a small explorer class spacecraft. Drake is on the selection council, and the council was positive about the idea of studying neutrino close to the sun.
