The Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication (2002 - 2023)
The Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication recognized and encouraged the publication of significant research results in science and in technology/engineering by JPL employees throughout their professional careers. This distinguished award consisted of a certificate of recognition and an Explorer Bonus Award. Generally, four (4) awards were presented each year, nominally two in science and two in technology/engineering.
