In Brief:Galileo mission to receive Jackson award(CNN) -- The prestigious Nelson P. Jackson Aerospace Award for outstanding contributions to planetary exploration will be presented to NASA's Galileo mission, the space agency announced Tuesday. The spacecraft was launched in 1989 and arrived at Jupiter in 1995 to begin what was originally designed as a two-year mission. That mission was followed by a two-year extension, which ended on January 31 of this year, and the long-lived spacecraft has begun yet another extension, called the Galileo Millennium Mission. The award, to be presented by the National Space Club Friday in Washington, memorializes one of the club's founders. Want more? Go to previous In Brief |
