Bulathsinghala (ivorjb@aero.org)ivorjb@aero.org –Neri submission »I propose to candidate the paper AIAA-2009-4890 as one of the best papers of the JPC 2009. I think that the results obtained by Mr. Zaghi and the Professors of University of Rome "La Sapienza" regarding the effect of helium during the very first ignition of P80 SRM are remarkable for the entire SRM community Submitted to Award and Executive Committees  Read all submittals  Down select to 3 for formal scoring  Final score sent to Awards chair for tally (ivorjb@aero.org)  Notification sent to SRTC chair (C. Carr) and AIAA (Need Contact) Winner to be formally announced at JPC awards luncheon in Nashville, TN Last year’s winner was “Thrust Oscillations in Solid Rocket Motors" by J. F. Guery, S.

7. 6 WYLD Award The Propulsion Award and the James H. Wyld Memorial Award honoring the developer of the regeneratively-cooled rocket engine were combined in 1964 to become the James H. Wyld Propulsion Award. In 1975, the name was again modified to the Wyld Propulsion Award, which is now presented for outstanding achievement in the development or application of rocket propulsion systems.

8. 7 The Wyld Award is a National Award! Wyld Award – led by SRTC  2008-2009 candidates were, –Dr. Stanley K. Borowski from Nuclear and Future Flight TC –Russell A. Ellis from Solid Rockets TC –Dr. Kenneth K. Kuo from Hybrid Rockets TC –Dr. Scott Stewart from Propellants and Combustion –Dr. William Sirigano from the Liquids TC  And the winner was, – Dr. William Sirigano, University of CA Irvine » Citation Extensive and fundamental contributions to the advancement of chemical rocket propulsion through theories of non-steady combustion and fluid dynamics  SRTC to support Wyld award for 2009-2010
