Earlier this year, Stamatios "Tom" Krimigis was awarded the 2015 Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Trophy for Lifetime Achievement, the museum’s highest honor.
Krimigis’ professional career coincided with the dawn of space exploration, and his visionary work developing new and innovative ways for NASA to explore the solar system provided the Laboratory with the opportunity to contribute engineering and science expertise to humanity’s quest to understand our universe.
