The launch of Mangalyaan made India the only country in the world to execute a successful mission to the red planet on its first attempt, an achievement which is sure to find a place in our records of mankind’s ambitious ventures into space. Quick Space has quietly been a part of almost every major project in northern Nevada in the past few years. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that it had joined hands with the ISRO on an Earth observation project and a Mars exploration program. It was launched on 5 November 2013 and had its stay in the Mars orbit extended by another 6 months in March 2015. Space Pioneer award for the year 2015 was presented to ISRO - Indian Space Research Organisation in the Science and Engineering category during the 34th. Mangalyaan is of major significance to India for many reasons and it has also accomplished a couple of firsts. The National Space Society (NSS) of USA which is an independent nonprofit educational membership body, presented the Space Pioneer Award to the ISRO. The accolade was given under the Science and Engineering field at the 34th Annual International Space Development Conference held in Canada between May 20 and 24 this year. Receiving awards is never my goal so I am very thankful that others believe I should receive some from time to time.The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been awarded the 2015 Space Pioneer Award for its Mangalyaan Mars orbiter mission which is an achievement worth singing praises about. SGAC has truly changed my life and I am happy to give back and help make the organisation better each day through my work. The NSS Space Pioneer Awards honor individuals and teams who have made significant contributions to open the space frontier. It is a great honour and I am very grateful to receive this prestigious award and to “stand” alongside all those wonderful and amazing people who won the award before me. Honestly, I was very surprised and humbled to be nominated for this award. During my first year I also helped set up our SGAC endowment fund which is a major step for the organisation! While receiving this award, Daniel, said: The organization says the intent is to recognize those who have made significant contributions in different fields of endeavor to develop a spacefaring civilization that will establish communities beyond the Earth. This includes many different tasks from event budget oversight to reporting to various stakeholders, such as the US Board of Directors or the Advisory Council. champion, champion Congratulations winners Our Pioneer award recognizes members who consistently go above and beyond in supporting our vision.

Since NovemI am SGAC’s Treasurer and am responsible for all the financial aspects of the organisation. In the end I supported +150 webinars and directly organised and partially moderated ~20 until my term ended in October, 2021.ĭuring that time I was also the co-manager of the 2020 SG which unfortunately fell victim to the pandemic and was finally hosted as a virtual event in the summer of 2021 (very successfully I have to say). My first role within SGAC was as a member of the Events Coordination team of which I later became one of the co-leads.ĭuring that period I supported local events but also helped kickstart the SGAC webinars in early 2020 as a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was lucky to attend SGC in Bremen in the same year which really sparked my interest in supporting SGAC more. Lueders also won a 2020 Woman in Aerospace Leadership Award, a 2021 American Astronomical Society Spaceflight Achievement Award and a 2022 Space Pioneer Award from the National Space. I first became a member of SGAC in late 2017 and started attending events in 2018 with the first one being the E-SGW in Bucharest.
