At NASA, he was among the interdisciplinary scientists and become a member of the Science Working Group in the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The experiments were successful and Wilson described that environment with unprecedented detail, which led Wilson to receive a secondary research group that he supervised.

Legacy Wilson was described as "one of the first truly multi-wavelength astronomers of his generation" and "a scientist of extraordinary productivity and impact over his lifetime".
