S. astronaut who today marked the second anniversary of his three-orbit Aurora 7 space flight.
General Sarnoff was presented with Yeshiva University’s Distinguished Science Award for his “rich contributions to 20th Century science and technology.” The award was presented by Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of the university.
