National Air And Space Museum Trophy




The trophy presented to the winners is a miniature version of "The Web of Space," a sculpture by artist John Safer

The National Air and Space Museum presents this trophy annually to recognize both past and present achievements involving the management or execution of a scientific or technological project, a distinguished career of service in air and space technology, or a significant contribution in chronicling the history of air and space technology.

The trophy was created for the National Air and Space Museum by John Safer of Washington, D.C.
