Amongst the warm tributes and recommendations received by the IAF, we read that “Dr Logsdon’s success as one of the world’s preeminent aerospace educators is demonstrated in his students. So many of his graduates are successfully employed in the global space industry today and can be found in many high‐level governmental, military, commercial, and academic positions. His impact is immeasurable.”
