Abstract

We are sad to say farewell to a great person, Dr. Dwight Jerry Easterly. He has been a good son, husband, father, and a friend and colleague to those in the aerospace and space communi�es. He will be sorely missed and will always be remembered for his con�nued dedica�on to the Canaveral Council of Technical Socie�es, both in its leadership and its organiza�on of several Space Congress symposia, and for his work in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Dr. Dwight Easterly contributed to the aerospace and space industries in the U.S. and Germany, working as an academic and a professional. He earned a bachelor's degree, two master's degrees, and a doctoral degree. Dr. Easterly had many diverse hobbies including scuba diving and hot air ballooning, but most of all he loved traveling and spending �me with family and friends. Along with his accomplishments, Dwight was passionate about the Cape Canaveral Technical Socie�es (CCTS)'s Space Congress. He was involved in decades worth of CCTS's Space Congress symposia, both during the Space Shu�le Era and in the space industry's transi�on to increased commercial spaceflight. He a�ended or organized every Space Congress in existence, even presiding as General Chair of the 43rd Space Congress. Dr. Easterly is survived by his significant other, Karen Rosse�er; four children, K.C. Easterly, Kristen Geeraerts, Jerry Easterly, and Sandy Harlow; and six grandchildren.
