Wesley T. Huntress, Jr. is president of the Planetary Society in America and Director of the Geophysical Laboratory at the Carnegie Institution. Huntress spent much of his career at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also teaching as a professor at the associated California Institute of Technology, before promotions took him to NASA Headquarters. This culminated in Huntress serving as NASA’s Associate Administrator for Space Science, starting in 1993. Huntress became an outspoken critic of reductions in the growth of NASA’s science budget, and on Thursday, August 17, 2006, he was asked by administrator Michael Griffin to resign his position with NASA’s advisory committee.
