A Fostoria native was honored for the support she provided for a project in NASA's Constellation Program.
Angela D. Windau was awarded for the critical safety support she provided to the manufacturing, transportation and assembly of the Ares I-X Upper Stage Simulator, a key hardware element for the program.
The Silver Snoopy award reflects the astronauts' personal recognition of workers who have made outstanding contributions to the safety and success of human spaceflight. Less than 1 percent of workers in the space program receive the award annually.
Recipients received a sterling silver Snoopy lapel pin and a certificate of appreciation and a commendation letter, both signed by the astronauts who presented the awards.
Astronauts Kevin Ford, Jose Hernandez and Sunita Willams recently presented Silver Snoopy awards at NASA's Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, to 17 Glenn employees and five support service contractors.
Ford and Hernandez were crew members of space shuttle Discovery mission STS-128 that flew to the International Space Station in August 2009. Williams served as a flight engineer aboard station during Expeditions 14 and 15, from December 2006 until returning to Earth in June 2007.
