Houston, Tx -
Barrios employee Ivy Apostolakopoulos was honored with NASA’s prestigious Astronauts Personal Achievement Award, the Silver Snoopy, in recognition of her support of NASA’s International Space Station program at Johnson Space Center.
Astronauts Stan Love and Mike Barratt presented the award at a reception held at the Gilruth Center located at JSC. The Silver Snoopy Award is presented to NASA and contractor employees who are nominated by an astronaut or manager for their dedication and outstanding support that greatly enhances flight safety.
