Langley Research Center Hall of Honor
The Langley Research Center National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Hall of Honor (HoH) was conceived by the Langley Alumni Association (LAA) and the NASA Langley Research Center. The HoH recognizes those researchers, managers, and mission support personnel whose individual contributions have had the most sustained and far-reaching influence on the leadership, direction, mission, and capabilities of the NACA Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, the NASA Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, and the NASA Langley Research Center. Their work at Langley must have enabled unprecedented and fundamental advances in either a scientific, engineering or support field and made significant and impactful contributions to NASA missions and the United States’ aerospace industry, for civil or military aircraft, spacecraft, or atmospheric sciences.
The Langley Research Center NACA & NASA HoH Committee receives, evaluates and selects HoH Honorees to be inducted per the process in the LAA and NASA Langley Research Center Memorandum of Understanding.
