Arvydas J. Kliore, Edward J. Smith, and John
H. Wolfe were also nominated for the Exceptional Scientific
Achievement Award. However, since NASA makes only one such award to
an individual, these principal investigators did not receive the
award again for their work on Pioneer 10. John A. Simpson was
nominated for his work in connection with both Pioneer 10 and Mariner
10 and elected to accept the award for Mariner.
