Stellar Award Trophy.

2008 Stellar Award Trophy

STELLAR AWARDS

The Rotary National Award for Space Achievement (RNASA) Foundation Stellar Awards were established to recognize outstanding individuals and teams from industry and government who have made significant contributions to the future of our nation's space program.

Nominations for Stellar Awards for individual and team achievements are solicited each year from the government, military, and industry. Stellar Awards recognize outstanding team contributions as well as individuals. In order to ensure recognition of individuals at all stages of their careers, nominations are solicited for three categories: early-career employees, up to age 35; mid-career employees, age 36 to 50, and late career contributors, those over age 50. The nominations are reviewed by a committee of distinguished scientists, engineers, managers, and academicians who select the winners based on whose accomplishments hold the greatest promise for furthering future activities in space.

The winners of the Stellar Award are announced each year at the annual National Space Trophy Dinner held in Houston, Texas. The Stellar Award presentations are a highlight of the dinner.

Previous nominees for the RNASA Stellar Awards have been mostly in science and engineering, but nominations are not limited to those fields. Any individual or team whose efforts have contributed to the nation's future in space will be considered. The Stellar Awards are highly regarded and are an opportunity to recognize outstanding individuals in the government, military and aerospace industry.

Stellar Award (including those announced on April 25, 2008) winners can be viewed through the Stellar Winners page.
