Banquet Honors Leonard Medal Posthumous Recipient Dr. John Utgaard - It is with deep sadness that we note the passing on September 8, 2009, of Dr. John Utgaard, this year's recipient of the Arthur Gray Leonard Award. John had been informed of his selection as the Leonard Medal recipient and was very proud of the honor. We will present a tribute to him at the Leonard Banquet and request that any friends or former classmates share their remembrances. Those who cannot attend the banquet and wish to share remembrances can contact Carissa Green at 701-777-2248, or at carissagreen@mail.und.nodak.edu.

Space Shuttle Atlantis This view of the aft portion of the space shuttle Atlantis, including the three main engines, was provided by the Expedition 21 crew during a survey of the approaching vehicle prior to docking with the International Space Station. As part of the survey and every mission's activities, Atlantis performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver. The image was photographed with a digital still camera, using a 400mm lens at a distance of about 600 feet (180 meters). Image Credit: NASA...
