Description of the award from the National SpaceSymposium Web site, accessed at http://2011.nationalspacesymposium.org/about/awards/john-l-jack-swigert-jr-award-space-exploration on May12, 2011"The Space Foundation was founded in 1983, in part tohonor the memory and accomplishments of astronautJohn L. 'Jack' Swigert, Jr. A Colorado native, Swigertserved with retired U.S. Navy Captain James A. Lovell,Jr., and Fred Haise on the legendary Apollo 13 lunarmission, which was aborted after the perilous rupture ofan oxygen tank en route to the moon. People around theworld watched as NASA overcame tremendous odds toreturn the crew safely to Earth. The Space Foundationcreated the Jack Swigert Award for Space Exploration in2004 in tribute to his enduring legacy of spaceexploration. The Jack Swigert Award is presentedannually at the National Space Symposium."

Excerpt from Popular Mechanics Web site accessed athttp://www.popularmechanics.com/science/space/moon-mars/nasas-explosive-findings-on-moonon May 12, 2011."It’s hard to decide what’s more impressive: theconfirmation of water ice on the moon, or the scrappyway that a team of scientists and engineers pulled offthe mission--by slamming 2 tons of equipment otherwisedestined to become space junk into the moon’s southpole and then analyzing the dust plume it kicked up.

Yet the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite,or LCROSS, mission began as an afterthought. Whenthe leaders of NASA’s $491 million LunarReconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) found themselves withan extra 1000 kilograms of payload capacity, they sentout a call for shoestring proposals for a companionmission. Led by principal investigator AnthonyColaprete, a team from NASA’s Ames Research Centerproposed using the Atlas V launch rocket’s empty upperfuel stage to impact the moon. Northrop Grummanwould turn the rocket’s hot-tub-size payload ring into amakeshift spacecraft that would trail in the stage’s path,gathering data via instruments bolted to its six satelliteports.

The team came in under its $80 million budget—and themission was a headline-screaming success. Essentially,says Colaprete, “we reached out and touched thewater.” The spacecraft calculated a 4 percent moistureconcentration in the plume, double that of the Sahara.“We take that for granted here on Earth, but 1 to 2percent water on the moon or an asteroid is potentially alifeline,” he says. “From an exploration standpoint, werealize there are a wealth of resources that we can takeadvantage of. Suddenly, the moon is a more interestingand active place.”

The awards are divided into thirteencategories. The intent is to recognize those who have madesignificant contributions in different fields of endeavor to"develop a spacefaring civilization that will establishcommunities beyond the Earth."

The usual number of Space Pioneer awards per year is three,so not every category is awarded each year. The 13 SpacePioneer Award categories are:

* Business/Corporate * Business/Entrepreneur * Compelling Art * Educator/Education * Government Service (Non-legislative) * Government Service (Legislative) * Mass Media * Public Awareness * Scientist/Engineer * Service to the Space Community * Space Development * Special Merit * Wide Media."

On the final approach to thelunar impact site, the shepherding spacecraft andCentaur upper stage separated. The latter acted asa heavy impactor to kick up a debris plume throughwhich the former flew to collect and send the plumedata back to Earth, before impacting the surfaceand creating another debris plume.
