the Final Servicing Mission to Hubble.

As is written on the nomination form (NASA Form 1644):
"Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal (EEAM) -is awarded for unusually significant engineering contributions toward achievement of the NASA mission. This award may be given for individual efforts or application of engineering principles/methods which have resulted in a contribution of fundamental importance in this field or have significantly enhanced understanding of this field."
The citation reads: "For superior accomplishments in support of
numerous pivotal instruments serviced or repaired during the
Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 4."
The award consists of four parts. A ribbon, a lapel pin,
a small medal, and the large one.
