Neugebauer's research are among the first that yielded the first direct measurements of the solar wind and shed light on its physics and interaction with comets. Neugebauer was an investigator of the Mariner 2 plasma analyzer that made the first extensive measurements of the solar wind and discovery of its properties.[1] She also developed analytical instruments that orbited Earth, some set up on the moon by the Apollo astronauts, and others that flew by Halley's comet on the European Giotto mission. Neugebauer was Study Scientist for many space missions during her long career with NASA, and held several management positions at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, including Manager of the Physics and Space Physics sections, Manager of the Mariner Mark II study team, and Project Scientist for Rangers 1 and 2 and the Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby mission. Neugebauer served as president of the American Geophysical Union from 1994-1996 and was Editor-in-Chief of its journal Reviews of Geophysics. She also chaired the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on Solar and Space Physics. Neugebauer was born in New York City. She received a B.A. in physics from Cornell University in 1954, followed by an M.S. in physics from the University of Illinois in Urbana in 1956. She was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Physics in 1998 by the University of New Hampshire. She was married to astrophysicist Gerry Neugebauer.[1] Awards and honorsIn 1967 the Museum of Science and Industry named Neugebauer "California Woman Scientist of the Year." She received many awards from NASA, including the Exceptional Scientific Achievement Award, the Outstanding Leadership Medal, and the Distinguished Service Medal (the highest award given by NASA). In 1997 she was inducted in the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame.[4] In 2004 Neugebauer was awarded the William Kaula Award[5] and in 2010 was awarded the Arctowski Medal from the National Academy of Sciences.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Arctowski Medal |url=http://www.nasonline.org/site/PageServer?pagename=AWARDS_arctowski |publisher=National Academy of Sciences |accessdate=13 February 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101229195941/http://www.nasonline.org/site/PageServer?pagename=AWARDS_arctowski |archivedate=29 December 2010 |df= }} [2][3][4]2. ^1 {{cite web|title=2004 William Kaula Award Winner|url=https://honors.agu.org/winners/marcia-neugebauer-2/|publisher=American Geophysical Union|accessdate=27 September 2016}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=The Venus Mission|url=http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/mariner2/|publisher=Jet Propulsion Laboratory|accessdate=27 September 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=WITI Hall of Fame|url=http://www.witi.com/center/witimuseum/halloffame/119285/Marcia-Neugebauer-Distinguised-visiting-scientist-Jet-Propulsion-Laboratory/|publisher=Women in Technology International|accessdate=27 September 2016}} }} External links
