Supplier was a department member for a short time at Yale University when he was involved in the development of sonar as a wartime scientific work. He was involved in the development of space-operated telescopes in 1946. He developed an electronics called Udukanangani. NASA's instrument is called the Spitzer Space Telescope. As a scientist, he was involved in the study of galaxy formation and electrophysiology. In 1947, Enrique Norris became director of astronomy with Prince after the war. It was co-chaired by Martin Schwarzschild until 1970.

Spitzer and Donald Morton first climbed the 1675-meter-high Thor Mountain in 1965 in Ayutthaya National Park on Puffin Island, Nunavut District, Canada. Spitzer, a member of the American Alpine Group, created the "Eleanor Supplier Mountain Advancement Award". The award carries a $ 12,000 prize each year to the winners of the trek. He was awarded the Carl Schwarzschild Medal, the Henry Trapper Medal, the National Medal of Science, and the Crawford Prize. He was buried in the cemetery with the Prince.
