The Spitzer Science Center (SSC) co-sponsored a science symposium to honor
one of the pioneers of infrared astronomy, held April 11-13, 2002 in
Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Gillett, 64, passed away in April 2001, following a
months-long battle with a rare bone marrow disorder.

planetary science community and SSC staff to discuss the unique
requirements inherent in planetary science studies. No formal proceedings
will be published; however, all
of the talks are on line, as is a report by the Scientific
Organizing Committee co-Chairs (Cruikshank and Hanner) and the SSC
Response.
- Astrophysics With Infrared Surveys: A Prelude to SIRTF
