L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) was awarded an Aviation Week
2021 Program Excellence Award for work on NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman
Space Telescope.
The Aviation Week Network Program Excellence awards honor
aerospace and defense industry programs that create organizational
success through quality processes, people development, tools and
leadership. This is the first year L3Harris has competed for the
award and is being recognized for the optical telescope program in
the Supplier System Design and Development category. NASA designed
the Roman Space Telescope to answer questions in areas of dark
energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics.
“Quality program management is derived from a culture that
strives for excellence,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, Vice Chair
and Chief Executive Officer, L3Harris. “This award recognizes the
innovation our teams embrace, and that our trusted disruptor
approach delivers for our customers.”
L3Harris is responsible for key elements of the Roman Space
Telescope, including the primary mirror and hardware for the Wide
Field Instrument to accomplish the mission’s core science
goals.
The L3Harris team earned the award for their work on the
telescope by consistently delivering exceptional performance to
NASA. L3Harris excelled during multiple challenges by implementing
key execution strategies involving change management and risk
management, while embracing and employing predictive metrics.
The Roman Space Telescope is a next-generation observatory
scheduled to launch no later than May 2027. Equipped with a
2.4-meter primary mirror, it has a field view that is 200 times
greater than the Hubble Space Telescope’s infrared instrument,
capturing more of the sky with less observing time. For example,
trying to find an exoplanet around a star is similar to finding a
firefly near a spotlight in Los Angeles, while searching from
Washington D.C.
Aviation Week Network created the Program Excellence Awards in
2004 to honor exceptional leadership and identify lessons learned
and best practices that would be shared across the industry.
Nominations are evaluated by teams of program management leaders
from the Defense Department, academia and industry.
