Trade paperback. Condición: Very good. P`. Format is approximately 5 inches by 7.5 inches. vi, 247, [3] pages. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Stephen J. Garber is a policy analyst in the NASA History Division. He received a master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh, a master's degree in Science and Technology Studies… from Virginia Tech. Focusing on national security space, he has also done a detail in the Pentagon's Space Policy office. His chapter on orbital debris was published in the 2016 Space Security Index and another essay on debris is forthcoming as a journal article. He has several relevant security clearances and also works on declassification of historical documents. He has written on such aerospace history topics as NASA's organizational culture, project management, the design of the Space Shuttle, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program. He also has been published on intelligence history. Human spaceflight is the driver for most activities that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) undertakes. NASA has a rich aviation research heritage and has also done pathbreaking scientific and applications work using robotic spacecraft, human spaceflight is a difficult endeavor that engenders great enthusiasm and support for NASA. This symposium contains sixteen fascinating essays about the past and future of spaceflight, written by some of the most important figures in the space community. A confluence of anniversaries made the spring of 2001 a propitious time for reflection on a forty-year record of achievement and on what may lie ahead. The fortieth anniversary of Alan Shepard's first spaceflight, took place on 5 May 2001. The fortieth anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's spaceflight, the first time a human orbited Earth, took place on 12 April 2001. In addition, 25 May was the fortieth anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's famous speech in which he proposed putting an American on the Moon "before this decade is out," initiating the Apollo Project. Vincent Cavallero (Cover illustration) (ilustrador).

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: very good. Presumed first edition/first printing. VOLUME V ONLY. xxviii, [1], 796 pages. 25 cm. Illustrations. Glossary. Biographical Appendix. Index. Slight wear and soiling to DJ. This is part of the NASA History Series. John M. Logsdon is Charles A. Lindbergh Chair…in Aerospace History at the National Air and Space Museum; From 1987 to mid-2008, Logsdon was Director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, where he is also Professor Emeritus of Political Science and International Affairs. Dr. Logsdon's research interests focus on the policy and historical aspects of U.S. and international space activities. Dr. Logsdon is the author of The Decision to Go to the Moon: Project Apollo and the National Interest and is general editor of the eight-volume series Exploring the Unknown: Selected Documents in the History of the U.S. Civil Space Program. He has written numerous articles and reports on space policy and history. He is frequently consulted by the electronic and print media for his views on space issues. This volume is the fifth in a series that had its origins in the 1990s. The individuals involved in initiating the series and producing the first two volumes have been acknowledged in those volumes. An exception must be made for NASA Chief Historian Roger D. Launius, who has become not only a strong supporter of this series but also an essential collaborator in its implementation. Despite the political imperatives which have caused America's civil space program to direct most of its budget towards human spaceflight, there is no doubt that the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has also inspired a global revolution in scientific knowledge. For more than four decades, NASA has pioneered the exploration of the 'Final Frontier', opening a window on the Universe that has transformed our vision of the planets, stars, and galaxies. As befits an agency created to inform and inspire the American people, much of this endeavor, the triumphs and the tragedies, has been pursued in the full glare of global publicity. However, despite such remarkable openness, NASA's history has inevitably included less-publicized episodes of controversy and dissension. Reports and memoranda written by some of the key participants in these political and managerial battles, many published for the first time, stand out as the gems in this fascinating collection of more than 120 documents recounting the history and development of the US space-science program. These snapshots, recalling some of the most significant moments in NASA's space-science enterprise, are organized into three sections. The first chapter is devoted to the origins and early organization of US space science, beginning with the program to explore the ionosphere and the response to the launch of Sputnik I. The remaining chapters cover NASA's solar-system exploration efforts and the evolution of space-based astronomy and astrophysics. Particularly fascinating are the documents from the 1980s that detail the desperate struggles by NASA's leaders to maintain a program of solar-system exploration at a time when the agency's budget was being slashed and political support was waning. Among them is a proposal from NASA administrator James Beggs to terminate the entire planetary program, thereby making JPL surplus to NASA's needs. Another revelation is an illustrated 'comic book', produced in 1984 by George Field of the National Research Council, to explain to government accountants and politicians the necessity of pursuing all four of NASA's proposed 'great observatories'.

An exception must be made for NASA Chief Historian Roger D. Launius, who has become not only a strong supporter of this series but also an essential collaborator in its implementation. The documents selected for inclusion in this volume are presented in four major sections, each covering a particular aspect of the origins, evolution, and execution of the U.S. space and Earth science program. Section I deals with the scientific study of the Sun. Section II discusses the study of the physical characteristics of space, including both interactions between the Sun and Earth, and other areas of investigation. Section III deals with NASA's fundamental research in life sciencesâ"space biology. (Issues associated with the study of the reactions of the human body to the space environment and the health of astronauts will be covered in the next two volumes.) Section IV discusses the most recent area of science to which space observations contributeâ"that intend to advance understanding of the Earth as a planetary system. An overview essay introduces each section in the present volume. These essays are intended to introduce and complement the documents in the section, and to place them in a chronological and substantive context. Each essay contains references to the documents in the section it introduces, and may also contain references to documents in other sections of the collection.

This volume is the fourth in a series that had its origins in the 1990s. The individuals involved in initiating the series and producing the first two volumes have been acknowledged. An exception must be made for NASA Chief Historian Roger D. Launius, who has become not only a strong supporter of this series but also an essential collaborator in its implementation. One of the most important developments of the twentieth century has been the movement of humanity into space with machines and people. The underpinnings of that movementâ"why it took the shape it did; which individuals and organizations were involved; what factors drove a particular choice of scientific objectives and technologies to be used; and the political, economic, managerial, and international contexts in which the events of the space age unfoldedâ"are all important ingredients of this epoch transition from an Earthbound to a spacefaring people. This desire to understand the development of spaceflight in the United States sparked this documentary history series. The documents selected for inclusion in this volume are presented in four major chapters, each covering a particular aspect of access to space and the manner in which it has developed over time. These chapters focus on the evolution toward the giant Saturn V rocket, the development of the Space Shuttle, space transportation commercialization, and future space transportation possibilities. Each chapter in this volume is introduced by an overview essay, prepared by individuals who are particularly well qualified to write on the topic. In the main, these essays are intended to introduce and complement the documents in the chapter and to place them, for the most part, in a chronological and substantive context. Each essay contains references to the documents in the chapter it introduces, and many also contain references to documents in other chapters of the collection. The contents of this volume emphasize primary documents or long-out-of-print essays or articles and material from the private recollections of important actors in shaping space affairs. Key legislation and policy statements are also included. The contents of this volume thus do not comprise in themselves a comprehensive historical account; they must be supplemented by other sources, those both already available and to become available in the future. Indeed, a few of the documents included in this collection are not complete; some portions of them were still subject to security classification as the volume went to print. Good [Some front board weakness noted].
