The Space Flight Awareness Logo. Credit: NASA/SFA NASA’s Space Flight Awareness (SFA) program has played an important role in human spaceflight safety for over 40 years beginning with the Apollo Program. It has served as one of NASA’s best incentives in recognizing exemplary achievements in quality, safety, and mission success.

SFA has recognized the exceptional achievements of civil servants and contractors who have made significant contributions to the space shuttles’ safe return to flight and in sustaining the International Space Station and our expedition crews. Throughout the challenges of the past few years, SFA has permeated NASA’s human spaceflight program with a renewed and strengthened consciousness of the importance of teamwork, excellence, and diligence to flight safety.

Awards under the Space Flight Awareness program include the Honoree Award, Silver Snoopy Award, Team Award, Leadership Award, and Flight Safety Award. For information on the awards and their criteria, visit the main SFA Web site at http://jsc.sfa.nasa.gov.
