Charter NEX Films receives awards from NASA
(1888 PressRelease) Group Achievement Award and
Silver Achievement Medal given to Charter NEX
Films in recognition of involvement with NASA'S
Balloon Program. Duluth, MN-WI - Charter NEX
Films, Inc. received two awards from NASA today.
The awards were part of the 2013 NASA Agency
Honor Awards. The Group Achievement Award was
given in recognition for involvement with the
2012/2013 Antarctic Long Duration Balloon
Campaign for NASA's Balloon Program. Charter NEX
Films was named as part of the team in this
successful campaign. Recipients of this award
include personnel from NASA, the Columbia
Scientific Balloon Facility, Aerostar, and
Charter NEX Films. The Silver Achievement Medal
was given to Charter NEX Films in recognition of
the production of exceptional quality balloon
film for the NASA Balloon Program. "The Silver
Achievement Medal award is very special. In some
ways it crosses over with the successful
2012/2013 Antarctic campaign, but it is a
targeted award specifically for Charter NEX
Films," says Henry Cathey, Jr., engineer with New
Mexico State Universities, Physical Science
Laboratory. "It is singular recognition of the
quality of your product and the dedication of
your staff. Only a very select group of Silver
Achievement Medals are presented each year from
the many applicants. I think these awards speak
for themselves on the importance of Charter NEX
towards the NASA Balloon Programs success."

Altitude Weather Balloon projects such a success.
