In the public-affairs category, Losey received a first-place citation for her footage of an earth-science mission that was flown last year in South America aboard NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory.

The video, shot with a hand-held camera from the rear seat of a NASA F/A-18 mission-support aircraft, showed Losey's ability to record precise technical visual data under challenging circumstances, NASA officials said. The award was presented to Losey during a NASA reception at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas last month. A three-judge panel evaluated entries for public affairs, documentation and production videography on professional excellence, technical quality, originality, creativity within restrictions of the project, and applicability to NASA and its mission. ``Lori is a talented videographer who has demonstrated extraordinary abilities with the many opportunities she has received in her career at NASA,'' said Linda Peters, Arcata Associates' video-systems supervisor at Dryden.
