On October 25, 2014, Marc was a recipient of Lockheed Martin's NOVA award which was presented in the Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian in Washington DC! The NOVA award is Lockheed Martin's highest award and was given to about 63 individuals or teams from the company which has 130,000 or so employees!
Marc's award was a Technical Excellence Award. His individual award states:
"Marc devoted more than five years to the success of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GEOS) Earth Pointing Platform. As certified product engineer, he has been responsible for the development, design and manufacturing/test oversight of the primary interface between the bus structure and the two main weather instruments on the GOES satellite. The Composite Bench Structure is a unique, six-inch-thick honeycomb sandwich, and the Isolation Mounting System includes spring/damper pairs. After overcoming numerous technical issues in manufacturing and test with the customer and suppliers, Marc's efforts retired significant risk and culminated in ahead-of-schedule delivery of the first flight units for the next generation GOES-R satellite in December 2013."
Congratulations Marc!!
