Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Jim Maser Earns Top Honors
16 Maio 2023 - 3:36PM
Jim Maser, senior vice president of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Space
Business Unit, was selected as a 2023 Honorary Fellow of the
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and
elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
“I cannot think of a more deserving individual for these top
honors,” said Eileen P. Drake, Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and
president. “As the leader of our space propulsion business, Jim has
made enormous contributions to our company, our industry and the
nation.”
An AIAA Honorary Fellow is the top honor bestowed by AIAA that
recognizes recipients for their eminence in aeronautics or
astronautics and it is only given to less than 1% of its
membership. Being elected as a member of NAE is also one of the
highest professional honors accorded in the engineering profession.
NAE members have distinguished themselves in business and academic
management, in technical positions, as university faculty, and as
leaders in government and private engineering organizations.
Jim Maser has enjoyed a distinguished aerospace career, spanning
entrepreneurial space launch, human spaceflight, as well as
commercial and military jet engines. In his current position, he is
responsible for critical propulsion programs supporting the
nation’s defense and exploration endeavors, including the 53
elements on NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft that
were built by Aerojet Rocketdyne, and performed spectacularly
during the Artemis I mission.
“I am truly honored and humbled to be recognized among my peers
by these prestigious institutions,” said Maser. “I offer my sincere
thanks to the AIAA and NAE for considering me, and I look forward
to my induction, membership and continuing to contribute to
advances in the aerospace industry.”
Maser is among three AIAA Honorary Fellows and 28 Fellows to be
inducted during a May 17 ceremony, which will be followed the
next day by an awards gala at the Kennedy Center in Washington,
D.C.
The NAE, a branch of the National Academies, is an independent,
nonprofit organization that provides engineering leadership to
support the nation. Members are elected annually by a panel of
peers for outstanding contributions to engineering practice,
research, education and literature. Maser, along with 106 other
newly elected members and 18 international members, will be
formally inducted on Oct. 1 during the NAE’s annual
meeting.
