He was in charge of rocket propulsion research for a major defense contractor for 30 years, that I know from talking to him. But there seems to be very sparse information available publicly detailing just what his contributions were or what his award was for. He later was in charge of a very important program for NASA that was also vital to the Department of Defense. Once again these are things that I have found online but only with some circumspect, offhand reporting and references to technical papers that are nowhere to be found online. He is getting pretty old now so it's harder and harder to talk about it with him, but it is really fascinating and for my children's sake, I would really like to know more. I have spent a few hours sifting through google results for his name coupled with the programs and contractor but it is a fairly fruitless search.
