South Bay : PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD
Just weeks before he is scheduled to retire, an engineer at TRW Space and Electronics Group will be honored by NASA for more than 30 years of working on NASA-related spacecraft and missions. R. Gordon Williams, vice president and deputy general manager of the Redondo Beach-based group, will receive the NASA Public Service Medal today during a ceremony on the TRW campus.
Williams, a 64-year-old Manhattan Beach resident, was head of a team that completed major projects for NASA--including satellites and a space observatory--that have been sent into orbit on space shuttles. Under his leadership, TRW has won several awards for NASA programs.
