Condición: good, ex-lib. First? Edition. First? Printing. 571, illus., diagrams, usual library markings, bottom edge stained. Volume 15, AAS Science and Technology Series: A Supplement to Advances in the Astronautical Sciences. The nation's testing, launching, and tracking ranges and the international net of tracking stations represent a tremendous resource for the future of astronautics. However, astronautics is changing rapidly, and with that change will come new requirements on the ranges and the network of tracking stations. Proceedings of the AAS/ New Mexico State University Symposium held March 22-24, 1967, Las Cruces, New Mexico. Over 40 articles from noted personalities in this area: Clyde Tombaugh on space goals from the astronomer's perspective, William Clohessy on Future Manned Earth Orbital Missions, Hart Wagner on Future Lunar Surface Missions (featuring projections of the Apollo Lunar Module with external airlock), and many more.
