John Ratliff, a quality assurance specialist with the Safety and Mission Assurance Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., recently received a "Silver Snoopy" Award for his support of NASA’s Human Spaceflight Program.
The award is presented to a select few individuals space program — who have performed an outstanding effort, contributing to the success of human space flight missions.
The award is a silver pin in the form of “Snoopy,” dressed in space helmet and space suit. Recipients also are given a certificate and commendation letter, signed by an astronaut, citing their outstanding performance and the Astronaut Corps' appreciation. Snoopy Award pins have been flown aboard the Space Shuttle, and are presented by a NASA astronaut at the recipient's work facility among coworkers.
At the Marshall Center, Ratliff monitors the manufacture, assembly and test of flight hardware, as well as research and development hardware. Prior to joining NASA’s Marshall Center in 1986 he worked for the Department of Defense and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
A native of Huntsville, Ratliff received an associate’s degree from Calhoun Community College in Decatur, Ala., and attended the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
