Aerospace's Technical Magazine Wins a Maggie Award

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (4/11/03) -- The Aerospace Corporation's technical publication covering advances in aerospace technology, Crosslink, won a Western Publications Association Maggie award at a ceremony held at the Airport Westin Hotel in Los Angeles on April 11. The summer 2002 issue of Crosslink, "Satellite Navigation," was recognized for excellence in the semiannual and three-time trade publication category.

The Maggie is given out annually to companies and organizations in the Western United States whose publications are recognized as "the best of the West" in a wide variety of publishing categories. More than 1,700 entries in nearly 90 categories were considered for 2003 Maggie awards.

"It is very exciting," said Donna Born, Crosslink editor in chief, who accepted the award. "It is an honor and a significant achievement for all those who work to make Crosslink such a consistent success."

Crosslink was launched in January 2000 to report on the technical capabilities and technological achievements of many of the national-security space programs that The Aerospace Corporation supports. It also recognizes the important contributions to aerospace technology by the company's technical staff, many of whom are foremost authorities in their fields. "The magazine is written for a broad audience to include readers who may not be technical specialists but who are knowledgeable and interested in satellites, rockets and space systems," Born said.

Since its first publication, Crosslink has covered atmospheric studies, space experiments, communications, systems engineering and launch vehicles. The magazine also includes news briefs, profiles of individuals who have made outstanding accomplishments in the aerospace field, and an ongoing series of articles that examine the corporation's role in the history of U.S. national-security space programs.
