Maryland Scientist Charged With Attempted Espionage.

In 1994, Dr. Nozette was awarded the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal for his conception and execution of the Clementine mission.

Dr Nozette has also received the Rotary National Award for Space Achievement, the National Space Club Nelson P Jackson Award, the Aviation Week and Space Technology 1994 Aerospace Laurel Award for outstanding achievement in the field of Space, the 1995 Space Frontier Foundation Vision to Reality Award, and the X-Prize Foundation New Spirit of St. Louis Award.
