HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- ERC is proud to announce that ERC's Red Crew
received the prestigious Stellar Award from the Rotary National
Award for Space Achievement (RNASA) Foundation for their
mission-saving work on the Artemis I launch. The Stellar Awards are
presented on behalf of the RNASA to celebrate the accomplishments
of those working behind the scenes of the space program. The Red
Crew was invited to the 35th Annual Space Awards Gala on
April 28th in Houston, TX, where they received their
well-deserved recognition.
ERC Red Crew members Billy
Cairns, Trenton Annis, and
Chad Garrett were recognized for
their contributions to ensure the successful launch of Artemis I on
November 16, 2022. As NASA's Kennedy
Space Center prepared for launch, sensors detected a hydrogen leak
during fueling. At the last minute, the Red Crew stepped in to stop
the leak on the hydrogen valve. By tightening several bolts, the
Red Crew ensured that the launch went on without a hitch. If not
for their hard work and bravery, the launch would have been
scrubbed.
Jane Reutt, President of ERC's
NASA division, said, "I could not be prouder of this team. The
recognition was well deserved."
