The date is assumed as there was an article in Aviation Week and Space Technology of June 2 1962 that used the phrase NASA.spearhead to space. This booklet is an invitation for college graduates with inquiring scientific minds.creative minds.to seek to join NASA's scientific and engineering staff. NASA offered rapid professional advancement early recognition rapid salary advancement support for graduate study and a choice of which NASA facilities to consider joining. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA is an independent agency of the U.S. Federal Government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and space research. NASA was established in 1958 succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA. The new agency was to have a distinctly civilian orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. Since its establishment most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA including the Apollo Moon landing missions the Skylab space station and later the Space Shuttle. NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion spacecraft the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for uncrewed NASA launches.

195980611Washington 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 rocket in front of a gantry taken at night. There is a group of people gathered at the base of the rocket. This may be a photograph of the Mercury Redstone or the Mercury Atlas rocket. Mercury-Atlas was a subprogram of Project Mercury that included most of the flights and tests using the Atlas LV-3B launch vehicle. The Atlas was also used for one Mercury flight under the Big Joe subprogram. 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. The Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle was the first crewed launch vehicle in the United States space program. The Mercury-Redstone provided NASA with an opportunity understand performance aspects of the Mercury spacecraft the effect of a weightless environment on astronauts and launch and recovery operations at Kennedy Space Center. Development of the Redstone missile began directly after the transfer of the Fort Bliss rocket team to Huntsville Alabama in 1950. The fuselage of the Redstone was developed in-house at the Army's Guided Missile Development Division with Chrysler serving as prime contractor. Peenemunde veteran William A. Mrazek was placed in charge of developing the structure that consisted of pressurized aluminum propellant tanks. The tail unit consisted of a riveted aluminum structure with four stabilizing fins and air rudders with carbon jet vanes extending into the exhaust stream. The initial flight test of the Redstone occurred on August 20 1953 at Cape Canaveral. Between August 1953 and November 1958 37 Redstone missiles were fired altogether with only 13 experiencing any sort of malfunction. On October 7 1958 NASA formally organized Project Mercury to place a manned space capsule in orbital flight around the Earth investigate man's reaction to this new environment and recover the capsule and the pilot safely. The Army agreed to provide ten Redstone and three Jupiter vehicles for NASA's manned space program. Funding for the eight Redstone boosters was provided to the Army Ordnance Missile Command at the Arsenal in January 1959. "Man-rating" for human spaceflight what was previously a ballistic missile was not an easy project. Requirements for the project included launching a two-ton payload to an apogee of 100 nautical miles. The vehicle also had to meet important criteria of safety during launch adequate human factors consideration and necessary performance margins. A key development decision involved using the Jupiter C variation of the Redstone for the project. The Jupiter C design included a propellant tank six feet longer than the Redstone a lighter overall structure and improved performance capable of 78000 pounds of thrust. The elongated tanks of the Jupiter C provided the vehicle with an engine burn time of 143.5 seconds a twenty seconds increase over the Redstone. On July 1 1960 a core group from the Army Ballistic Missile Agency ABMA transferred from the Army to NASA formally creating the Marshall Space Flight Center. With this transfer came overall responsibility for the Mercury-Redstone launch vehicles. By October of that year a status report on Marshall's involvement in Mercury noted that the first two Mercury-Redstones had been assembled by the Marshall Center with many of the components fabricated at Marshall. The Chrysler Corporation had assembled an additional six launch vehicles. The first four of the eight Mercury-Redstone vehicles had been static fired and the first Mercury-Redstone was on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral after a capsule-booster compatibility checkout in Huntsville.

Illustrations most in color. Cover has some wear and soiling with edge tear at back. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The Spacelab Life Sciences 1 SLS-1 mission originated with a call to the scientific community for experiments in 1978. Accepted experiments involved humans primates rodents amphibians and plants. The original payload configuration was reduced to include human passive rodent and basic biology experiments and engineering evaluations. Human experiments will address effects of micro-gravity on various physiological parameters during and postflight. Investigations with nonhuman subjects will study microgravity effects on the cardiopulmonary cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems on the regulation of blood volume and erythropoiesis and on calcium metabolism and gravity receptors. SLS-1 was to serve as a stepping stone in establishing capabilities for flying nonhuman subjects and performing in-flight manipulations on these subjects without jeopardizing the crew environment. Fundamental technology incorporated in the animal holding facilities and laboratory work bench will be used in subsequent missions and in the future Space Station. Space Life Science-1 SLS-1 launched aboard Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia STS-40 on June 5 1991 was the first Spacelab mission dedicated solely to life sciences research. The laboratory for the research took place in a module shown here carried in the cargo bay of the Columbia. The purpose of the mission was to study the mechanisms magnitudes and time courses of certain physiological changes that occur during space flight to investigate the consequences of the body's adaptation to microgravity and readjustment to Earth's gravity and to bring the benefits back home to Earth. The mission was designed to explore the responses of the heart lungs blood vessels kidneys and hormone-secreting glands to examine the causes of space motion sickness and study changes in the muscles bones and cells. Many studies started during SLS-1 provided data that served as the foundation for investigations on the International Space Station. National Aeronautics and Space Administration paperback

194486761Washington DC: United States Navy Bureau of Aeronautics Special Devices Division 1944. Presumed First Edition First printing. Collectible Cards boxed in Card deck package. Good. Set of 54 cards with black and white photographs on one side and silhouette images of British warships and aircraft on the other side. Each card marked RESTRICTED and date August 1944. Believed to be a complete set of 54 cards comparable to a playing card deck with 52 standard cards and two additional cards/jokers. Box has some wear and soiling. The Bureau of Aeronautics BuAer was the U.S. Navy's material-support organization for naval aviation from 1921 to 1959. The bureau had "cognizance" i.e. responsibility for the design procurement and support of naval aircraft and related systems. Aerial weapons however were under the cognizance of the Navy's Bureau of Ordnance BuOrd. World War II brought immense changes as well. BuAer was forced to expand rapidly in order to comply with the nation's defense needs. By the war's end the bureau had developed an administrative structure that oversaw thousands of personnel and the procurement and maintenance of tens of thousands of aircraft. In 1943 the Navy established the position of Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Air or DCNOAir a move which relieved some of BuAer's responsibility for Fleet operations. RADM McCain now promoted to vice admiral was the first to fill the position. It is likely that this set was produced to be used in the European Theater possibly in connection with the invasion of the German homeland.

199249624Washington DC: GPO 1992. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. very good. 2 v 1 59 1 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Diagrams. Maps. The National Technology Initiative NTI was launched by presidential initiative in early 1992. Fourteen regional conferences were held across the nation during that year. NTI's main goal was to promote U.S. technological competitiveness by increasing the effectiveness of industry/government partnerships. Each conference addressed specific regionally significant areas of technology and included exhibits staffed by federal agencies universities and laboratories.
