Ronald H. Winston '63, of Quincy House and New York City, will receive the American Rocket Society's annual undergraduate research award at a luncheon in New York tomorrow.
Winston, an English major, will receive the $1,000 award jointly with Franklin J. Kosdon of M.I.T. for their invention of a solid rocket propellent. The project was part of a long-range plan to construct and launch a probe rocket intended to carry an instrument package thirty or forty miles into the atmosphere.
The students will be the guests of honor at a dinner at which Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson will speak.
