Petrone Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Award recipients included members of the crawler transporter team, which using Crawler-Transporter 2, carried the agency’s mobile launcher with the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft 4.2 miles from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B for the launch of Artemis I. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I launched successfully at 1:47 a.m. EST on Nov. 16, 2022.
The prestigious 2017 Pulaski Award is on display near a new memorial marker on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. During a joint ceremony, the Spaceport Integration Team and its partners were presented with the award and a new memorial marker was dedicated.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Members of the crawlerway system evaluation team pose for a group portrait in front of the Headquarters Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The team received the Florida Project of the Year award from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The Cape Canaveral branch of the ASCE nominated the team for its project, the Crawlerway Evaluation to Support a Heavy-Lift Program. The crawlerway is a 130-foot-wide, specialty-built roadway between Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), where rockets and spacecraft are prepared for flight, and Launch Pad 39A and 39B. The team's more than two-year evaluation confirmed the crawlerway system would be able to support the weight of moving the agency's future heavy-lift rockets and potential commercial vehicles from the VAB to the launch pads. The award honors the team's outstanding engineering efforts in research, design, construction and management, recognizing the complexity of multi-agency coordination and cost-effective engineering advances.

Plaques bearing the names of this year’s Chroniclers honorees are in view in the far right panel, last three names, during a ceremony on May 1, 2023 at the NASA News Center at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This year’s honorees are Robert E. Granath, Red Huber, and Mark Kramer. The trio were honored as latest members of the Chroniclers, nominated by other members of the news media and selected by a panel of NASA officials and current space reporters. The Chroniclers award recognizes retirees of the news and communications business who helped spread news of American space exploration from Kennedy for 10 years or more. The inductees join the list of 79 other Kennedy Chroniclers whose names hang proudly on the wall in the “Bull Pen,” the NASA News Center room where media traditionally gather to research and file their stories during launches.

President Obama has named six NASA individuals as recipients of the 2011 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Temilola "Lola" Fatoyinbo-Agueh, an environmental scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. was one of the recipients. The PECASE awards represent the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers. They recognize recipients' exceptional potential for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge, and their commitment to community service as demonstrated through professional leadership, education or community outreach.
