The evening's event is dedicated to the memory and outstanding achievements of the extraordinary and iconic Captain Jim Lovell. A special inaugural Jim Lovell Legacy Award will be presented to his family, launching the award's initiative to recognize those whose lifetime of leadership, service, and courage have left an enduring impact on humanity's progress in space.
The Jim Lovell Legacy Award will be an annual award given to the individual who honors the spirit of Commander Jim Lovell, whose heroism, calm under pressure, and unwavering commitment to exploration exemplify the very best of humanity in the face of the unknown. It celebrates those whose legacy is not measured only by the missions flown or the technologies pioneered, but by the inspiration they leave for generations to come and the foundations they have built.

They include Anna Hazlett, Founder & CEO of AzurX and member of the AED 2 billion Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund (MBRIF) Advisory & Decision Committee, Andrew Robb, Partner & EMEA Space Practice Leader at Deloitte, Sanjeev Gordhan, General Partner at Type One Ventures, and Hidetaka Aoki, Co-founder and director at Space Port Japan, co-founder of SPACETIDE Foundation and Space Evangelist.
