Schreiber-Spence Achievement AwardThe Schreiber-Spence Space Achievement Award was established by The University of New Mexico’s Institute for Space and Nuclear Power Studies to recognize contributions that have advanced capabilities in space technologies and applications through excellence in pioneering applications, technical contributions, public service, or leadership.  The award consists of a memento and a monetary award of $2,500 (shared equally if there are multiple awardees who have contributed jointly). The award is given by the Institute when a worthy person (or persons contributing jointly) is identified by the Awards Committee. The award is not given more frequently than, nor necessarily, annually. The Award(s) will be presented at the STAIF-2007 Banquet. The awardee(s) is expected to attend the STAIF Conference, at which the award is given, and to address the attendees on a relevant topic. The award honors Raemer E. Schreiber and Roderick W. Spence for their pioneering and technical contributions to concepts and designs for nuclear propulsion in space during their tenure at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 2007 Receipient - Chauncey StarrChauncey Starr, President Emeritus of of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), was this year's recipient of the award.
