Recognition &<br />
Awards<br />
<strong>2008</strong><br />
was the inaugural year for the internal <strong>Airborne</strong><br />
<strong>Science</strong> <strong>Program</strong> awards. The purpose of the awards<br />
are threefold: (1) to show appreciation for actions<br />
resulting in benefit to the program, (2) to recognize<br />
ASP team members who perform service above and<br />
beyond the call of duty, and (3) to recognize external advocates, partners, and collaborators<br />
for their contributions to ASP. Awards are intended to be a source of distinction and pride for<br />
individual accomplishments or group achievements in the field of airborne science at <strong>NASA</strong>.<br />
Nominations for the program<br />
awards are accepted in the following<br />
categories: Leadership, Engineering,<br />
Team Achievement, Outstanding<br />
Achievement, Sustained Excellence,<br />
Project/Mission Management, and<br />
Technician/Mechanic.<br />
This past year, we received ten<br />
nominations from most of the<br />
<strong>NASA</strong> Centers, as well as NSERC.<br />
An awards board reviewed all<br />
nominations, deliberated the<br />
merits of each, and forwarded<br />
recommendations for five awards<br />
to the <strong>Program</strong> Manager for a final<br />
approval.<br />
Of course, the program and its<br />
personnel receive many other awards<br />
and recognition both inside and<br />
