Huntsville, Ala., native Randy Sacks recognized for Space Shuttle support at NASA’s Marshall Center

Randy Sacks, a program analyst in the Space Shuttle Integration Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., recently received a "Silver Snoopy" Award for his support of the NASA’s Space Shuttle Program.
The award is presented to a select few individuals — fewer than 1 per cent of the people who work on NASA’s 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, Sacks monitors the Space Flight Operations contract and serves as the organizational chief information officer for the Space Shuttle Project Office.
Sacks, who began his career at NASA in 1991 in Marshall’s Procurement Office, is a graduate of Huntsville High School and the University of Alabama.
The Marshall Center is a key leader for NASA’s development of space transportation and propulsion systems and advanced large optics manufacturing technology, as well as microgravity research — scientific investigations in the unique low-gravity environment aboard the International Space Station and other spacecraft.
