2011 Awards Presented at Annual Luncheon

Riverside Research gets teens interested in technology

Amid the bustling World Trade Center construction site in Lower Manhattan sits the newly opened 9/11 Memorial - a tranquil setting where the noise of the city is overcome by two cascading waterfalls where the Twin Towers once stood. This sacred site and vivid illustration of American resolve served as the backdrop for our annual presentation of the company's most prestigious awards: the Ralph J. Mastrandrea Memorial Award and the Lawrence H. O'Neill Award for Sustained Excellence. Read all about our 2011 award winners here.

 

Check out all the photos from the awards luncheon, including pictures of the 9/11 Memorial, the World Trade Center building project, and incredible views of Manhattan from the Presidential Suite of the Millennium Hilton Hotel here.

USMC Gazette Header 

MSgt Donald Patterson, Jr., USMC (Ret) of our National Systems Directorate was recently published in the April 2012 edition of the Marine Corps Gazette, the official journal of professional Marines whose mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas that will advance knowledge, interest, and esprit in the Marine Corps. His article, "An Intelligence Transformation," is intended to further the discussion on the necessity for the transformation of intelligence analysis within the Marine Corps based upon its amphibious nature.  Donald is currently working at the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA) as a Deputy Program Manager for the integration of a Full Spectrum GEOINT capability within MCIA and the Marine Corps. Read his article in the online version of the Marine Corps Gazette here.

Cradle to Grave Support of TacSat-3 Reaches the Latter

 

After nearly three years in orbit, the 880-pound intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) satellite known as TacSat-3 has finally concluded its operational service and will soon be cremated in the earth's atmosphere as it falls from orbit. Riverside Research is proud to have been involved with this highly successful tactical satellite since the program's inception in 2005. Read More

 

The last time TacSat-3 appeared in a newsletter was in 2009 (Vol. 7) after the satellite was launched from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Find it on page 16.
