NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center employee Justin Junell of Slidell received the prestigious Silver Snoopy award Oct. 22 during a special ceremony held in conjunction with the Stennis Health and Safety Day.

Junell is a theoretical simulation technologist for NASA’s Engineering and Test Directorate at Stennis. He was honored for outstanding and distinguished contributions on the shuttle gaseous hydrogen flow control valve test project, especially his role in quantifying the risk and substantiating the safety rationale for continued shuttle program use of the existing configurations of the shuttle’s external liquid hydrogen-2 tank flight pressurization system flow control valve.

Astronaut Dominic Gorie presented the award. Junell received a Silver Snoopy lapel pin flown on space shuttle Endeavour during mission STS-123, along with a letter of commendation and certificate signed by Gorie.
