Today at the annual General James E. Hill Lifetime Space Achievement Award Luncheon, the Space Foundation and Raytheon have the privilege of recognizing Gen. Thomas S. Moorman, Jr., USAF, Ret., former vice chief of staff of the Air Force, as a pioneer in the space industry.

“Today’s honoree, General Thomas Moorman, has been one of the most innovative and courageous members of the global space community, contributing more than forty years of his life to protecting our country and also advancing our understanding of the world,” says Lynn Dugle, president of Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems and corporate host.

Each year, the Space Foundation presents the Hill award, in honor of its late chairman Gen. James E. Hill, USAF, Ret., to an outstanding individual who has distinguished themselves through a lifetime of contributions to the welfare or betterment of humankind through the exploration, development and use of space, or through use of space technology, information, themes or resources in academic, cultural, industrial or other pursuits of broad benefit to humanity.

Raytheon is proud to be part of the space community represented at National Space Symposium this week, realizing the promise of space. Recognizing the combined energy, innovation and inspiration evident in the space community, Lynn Dugle premiered Raytheon’s new space video which highlights the human benefits space brings and its vast potential for the future.
