Honors and Awards Goals

• Recognizing the Very Best in Our Industry
• Recognizing outstanding achievement is one of the
  primary responsibilities of the Institute.  AIAA
  proudly meets this responsibility through its
  honors and awards program.  The program regularly
  and conscientiously surveys the aerospace field,
  identifies practitioners in its arts and sciences
  who have made notable and significant
  contributions, and honors them in public
  ceremonies
• Recognition of your profession and your peers
  cannot happen without YOU!
• Consider submitting worthy professionals in our
  business!

WYLD Award

• The Propulsion Award and the James H. Wyld
  Memorial Award honoring the developer of the
  regeneratively-cooled rocket engine were combined
  in 1964 to become the James H. Wyld Propulsion
  Award. In 1975 the name was again modified to the
  Wyld Propulsion Award, which is now presented for
  outstanding achievement in the development or
  application of rocket propulsion systems.

• Any volunteers?
• Any suggestions for what should be on this form
• I would like to keep it simple
• I am Professor Rocket man and have X students
  pursing new, hot technologies on propellants that
  are colored purple and blue with white
  stripes.. I would like you to consider the
  project and a 1000 award to continue the work.
  I/we will report back to the SRTC at the next JPC
