"Mike brings an unprecedented amount of knowledge in overall science programs, along with extensive experience in Earth research, said Ed Weiler, the directorate's associate administrator.

He has worked at NASA since 1981, when he joined the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. In 2005, Luther received the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal.
