Hendricks' "energy, interests and breath of research is unharnessed" - NASA
Robert C. Hendricks has been awarded the Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland.
NASA recognized Hendricks for "outstanding research in heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermophysical properties of cryogenic fluids, which has contributed immeasurably to NASA's hydrogen-oxygen chemical rocketry technology"
His research was the most comprehensive program of its type carried on in support of U.S. rocket development, and it yielded valuable contributions to the regenerative cooling design of hydrogen-fueled rocket engines. His high-and-low-gravity nucleate and film boiling research was among the first in the world.
Hendricks is frequently consulted on a wide variety of heat transfer and fluid/solid mechanics research both in the country and abroad. He is one of the best known and most respected cryogenic researchers in the world.
His medal was presented by Dr. Raymond S. Colladay, associate administrator of the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology at NASA headquarters in Washington, and by Andrew J. Stofan, director of the Lewis Research Center.
Hendricks also received plaques for service at the center where he has been employed since receiving his degree in aeronautical engineering at Ohio State University.
