2023 Dec 12 | Schweickart Prize Ambassador Webinar | Intro

For our inaugural ambassador webinar, Apollo 9 Astronaut Rusty Schweickart is joined by Randy Schweickart and Rachel Momperousse to discuss the prize criteria, important dates, and deadlines, and to address any questions new ambassadors may have. Additionally, fellow space travelers and Schweickart Prize ambassadors Dorin Prunariu, Pedro Duque, and Julie Payette have also participated in the call. Founded in 2023, the Schweickart Prize was established with the goal of enhancing our capability to protect life on Earth from the potentially devastating consequences of an asteroid impact — planetary defense. The prize recognizes graduate students for their innovative ideas and potential leadership in the advancement of planetary defense-related fields including asteroid impact prediction, impact mitigation, mitigation law and policy development, impact economics, and planetary defense public education and communication.
