Teledyne Brown receives highest honor from NASA

Teledyne Brown, which has supported Marshall Space Flight Center since its inception, has been awarded NASA's highest honor for excellence and quality.

The company, with about 1,600 Huntsville employees, was named winner of the 2006 George M. Lowe Award in the Large Business Service Category.

The annual award is given to a NASA contractor that has demonstrated excellence and outstanding technical and managerial achievements in quality and performance. Teledyne Brown President Jim Link accepted the Low trophy at NASA's Project Management Challenge Conference in Galveston, Texas. Teledyne Brown is a subsidiary of California-based Teledyne Technologies.

"It is an honor to be a recipient of this prestigious NASA award," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and CEO of Teledyne Technologies. "This award is a reflection of the caliber of Teledyne Brown employees and their commitment to NASA's success.

"Teledyne Brown is dedicated to its commitment of exceptional quality and innovation to help NASA achieve its goals."

Teledyne Brown has supported every space initiative and is currently working on the design and development of the Ares I Upper Stage, Ares I vehicle integration and the first demonstration flight (Ares I-1) Roll Control System.

NASA also recently recognized Teledyne Brown for 1.4 million hours of no loss time mishaps on its System Development and Operation Support contract.
