In Memorium
Adarsh Deepak, PhD, Founding Managing Editor of JoSS and Chair of A. Deepak Publishing (ADP)

It is with deep sadness that we share with our JoSS friends and supporters news of the December 5, 2022 passing of the Founder and Managing Editor of the Journal of Small Satellites, Adarsh Deepak, PhD. His leadership, creative mind, and dedication to the smallsat community are the forces that led to the founding and development of this Journal, among his many other accomplishments.
 
Please watch for a future JoSS tribute to Dr. Deepak’s generous life of service to this and other communities.
