200086103John F Kennedy Space Center: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2000. Presumed First Edition First printing. Staplebound. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 63 5 pages includes covers. Illustrated front cover. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 11 inches. Illustrations. This includes information on STS-1 through STS 103 from 1981 to 1999. Not all numbers were reported on. The write-ups include mission highlights EVAs Launch and Landing. This includes information on John Glenn's return to space and the first flight to the International Space Station. The International Space Station ISS is the largest modular space station in low Earth orbit. The project involves five space agencies: the United States' NASA Russia's Roscosmos Japan's JAXA Europe's ESA and Canada's CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements. The station serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific research is conducted in astrobiology astronomy meteorology physics and other fields. The ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment required for possible future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System STS taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft where it was the only item funded for development. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981 leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011 launched from the Kennedy Space Center KSC in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites interplanetary probes and the Hubble Space Telescope HST conducted science experiments in orbit participated in the Shuttle-Mir program with Russia and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station ISS. The Space Shuttle fleet's total mission time was 1322 days 19 hours 21 minutes and 23 seconds. Space Shuttle components include the Orbiter Vehicle OV with three clustered Rocketdyne RS-25 main engines a pair of recoverable solid rocket boosters SRBs and the expendable external tank ET containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Space Shuttle was launched vertically like a conventional rocket with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the orbiter's three main engines which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit while the main engines continued to operate and the ET was jettisoned after main engine cutoff and just before orbit insertion which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System OMS engines. At the conclusion of the mission the orbiter fired its OMS to deorbit and reenter the atmosphere. The orbiter was protected during reentry by its thermal protection system tiles and it glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC Florida or to Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base California. If the landing occurred at Edwards the orbiter was flown back to the KSC atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft a specially modified Boeing 747. The first orbiter Enterprise was built in 1976 and used in Approach and Landing Tests but had no orbital capability. Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia Challenger Discovery and Atlantis. Of these two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003 with a total of 14 astronauts killed. A fifth operational and sixth in total orbiter Endeavour was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service following Atlantis's final flight on July 21 2011.

195980613Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1959. Contemporary print. Photograph. Good. Sheet is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Black and white photographic image is approximately 9 inches by 6.5 inches. This is printed on photographic paper stock. The image is of a Pilot/Astronaut in a flight suit/spacesuit seated on a chair. Based on comparison with NASA early photographs of the Mercury 7 Astronauts this appears to be an astronaut in their spacesuit. It may be Gordon Cooper in the picture. The photo is contemporary with Project Mercury. Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States running from 1958 through 1963. An early highlight of the Space Race its goal was to put a man into Earth orbit and return him safely ideally before the Soviet Union. Taken over from the US Air Force by the newly created civilian space agency NASA it conducted twenty uncrewed developmental flights some using animals and six successful flights by astronauts. The program took its name from Roman mythology. The astronauts were collectively known as the "Mercury Seven" and each spacecraft was given a name ending with a "7" by its pilot. On April 9 1959 NASA's first administrator Dr. Keith Glennan announced the names of the agency's first group of astronauts at a news conference in Washington D.C. Now known as the "Original Seven" they included three Naval aviators M. Scott Carpenter Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Alan B. Shepard Jr.; three Air Force pilots L. Gordon Cooper Jr. Virgil I. Gus Grissom and Donald K. Deke Slayton; along with Marine Corps aviator John H. Glenn Jr. This group photo of the original Mercury astronauts was taken in June 1963 at the Manned Spacecraft Center MSC now Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas. The astronauts are left-to-right: Cooper Schirra Shepard Grissom Glenn Slayton and Carpenter. Project Mercury became NASA's first major undertaking. The objectives of the program were to place a human-rated spacecraft into orbit around Earth observe the astronaut's performance in such conditions and safely recover the astronaut and the spacecraft. The Mercury flights proved that humans could live and work in space and paved the way for the Gemini and Apollo programs as well as for all further human spaceflight.
