NASA'S NEW HORIZONS mission has a new project manager at the APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY. HELENE WINTERS took over as project manager from GLEN FOUNTAIN, who plans to retire after managing the Pluto flyby mission since 2004. Winters was previously the manager for another APL-led mission, the MESSENGER Mercury orbiter, which ended its mission last April. A former NASA official is under consideration for a leadership post at the UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, Boulder. ROBERT BRAUN interviewed in late January for the position of dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science there. University officials told the Boulder Daily Camera that Braun was a "special target of opportunity" that they sought to interview outside of a normal search process. Braun, a professor of space technology at GEORGIA TECH, served as NASA chief technologist in 2010 and 2011.
