Christopher PestakCredit: NASA Christopher Pestak, program manager of the Glenn Engineering and Research Support (GEARS) contract at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, has received the 2025 Sustained Service Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). This award recognizes AIAA members who have given their time, dedication, and efforts in service to AIAA, the aerospace community, and the engineering profession.
Pestak oversees and coordinates the efforts of 350 contractor employees performing a wide range of scientific, engineering, and technical support work for NASA Glenn on the GEARS contract. He joined NASA in 1983 as an engineering contractor supporting the Atlas/Centaur and Shuttle/Centaur projects.
A Fellow of AIAA, Pestak serves as the deputy director for Educational Programs in AIAA Region III, which encompasses Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Illinois. He will be recognized for his service during an AIAA awards ceremony in January.

The Canadarm2 removes materials science samples from the Kibo laboratory module's airlock. NASA The Materials ISS Experiment Flight Facility mounted on the outside of the International Space Station allows researchers to test the performance and durability of materials and devices. This is done by exposing items of interest to everything that makes the space environment harsh, including radiation, highly reactive atomic oxygen, microgravity, and extreme temperatures.
Currently, one suite on the platform holds MISSE-20-Commercial, an investigation conducting 12 experiments from different research teams. Among MISSE-20-Commercial is the Space Entanglement and Annealing Quantum Experiment (SEAQUE) which tests two technologies that could advance the field of quantum communications. The first technology is a novel method to transmit quantum data. This method could make way for a scalable quantum information network and provide the foundation of quantum cloud computing, a technology that holds the promise of operating millions of times faster than conventional computers. SEAQUE will also validate technology to “self-heal” its sensitive detectors against radiation damage using laser annealing, prolonging the life of these quantum tools in a space environment.
