Sentences with phrase «team name approvals»

Not exact matches

The New Horizons team was instrumental in moving the new names through approval, and included the leader of the New Horizons missions, Dr. Alan Stern, and science team members Mark Showalter — the group's chairman and liaison to the IAU — Ross Beyer, Will Grundy, William McKinnon, Jeff Moore, Cathy Olkin, Paul Schenk and Amanda Zangari.

It will probably take a while for the IAU to work through the list, but the New Horizons team won't leave the evolving Pluto maps blank in the meantime; they'll assign names on a provisional basis until official approval comes in, Showalter said.

Approvals of team names are made on a case - by - case basis.
