Wraps. Very good. 15 1 pages. Illustrations. Mailing information and ink notation on back cover. Minor wear and soiling noted. This is the premier issue of a quarterly publication of the Space Communications Program at the NASA Lewis Research Center. As such it has become an extremely rare item in the space and the collectibles markets. A substantial amount of this issue's content is related to ACTS the Advance Communications Technology Satellite. NASA is developing architecture technologies communication system technologies and subsystem and component technologies to enable NASA's future missions in science and human exploration. We develop space communication architectures via commercial ventures and international forums and we are a major supporter of extending the Internet into space. Technologies are being developed to support intelligent autonomous communications architectures that enable anytime anywhere operations and provide end-to-end information delivery from space directly to users. Through coordinated studies with other NASA centers government agencies industry and academia our scientists and engineers are designing feasible communication network architectures that enable the storage transmission and dynamic routing of large amounts of data at high rates among space assets and between space and ground assets.
