Two Hughes VPs honoured
Two Hughes VPs honoured
Two vice presidents of Hughes Space and Communications Company (HSC) have been honoured by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) for leading the team that developed what has become the world's top-selling large satellite model, the HS 601.
The executives, Ronald V. Swanson and Ronald D. Symmes, received the AIAA Space Systems Award during the organisation's annual Space Programs and Technology Conference. AIAA cited them for "outstanding leadership in the design, development and orbit operation of the HS 601 communications satellite product line, the most widely purchased spacecraft in space flight history."
