Lew Allen Award

Lew Allen Award for Excellence is a medal of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Established in 1986 as the Director’s Research Achievement Award; it was then renamed in honor of JPL's Director Lew Allen when he retired in 1990.[1][2] This award recognises significant accomplishments or leadership early in an individual's professional career at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[2]
