Aeronautics and Space Report of the President; Fiscal Year 1992 Activities

199380330Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. 2 ii 111 1 pages. Map. 13 Appendices. Index. Includes Executive Summary; Space Launch Activities; Space Science; Space Flight and Space Technology; Space Communications; Aeronautical Activities; Studies of the Planet Earth; Other Aeronautical and Space Activities; and Glossary. The annual "President's Report" is a good summary of the Government's aerospace activities each year. Mandated by law it contains information on aerospace activities conducted by 14 Federal departments and agencies as well as appendices containing useful historical data on spacecraft launches and budget figures. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 directed that the annual Aeronautics and Space Report include a "comprehensive description of the programmed activities and the accomplishments of all agencies of the United States in the field of aeronautics and space activities during the preceding calendar year." This year's report has been prepared on a fiscal year basis which is consistent with the budgetary period now used in programs of the Federal Government. This report presents a fascinating snapshot of the U.S. space activities toward the end of the 20th Century. Fiscal Year FY 1992 was a significant one for U.S. aeronautics and space efforts. It included seven Space Shuttle missions and 14 Government launches of Expendable Launch Vehicles ELVs carrying a variety of payloads ranging from NASA missions to classified payloads. In addition there were eight launches of ELVs by commercial launch service providers operating under licenses issued by the Department of Transportation's Office of Commercial Space Transportation. On December 71991 the Air Force achieved initial launch capability for the new Atlas I1 launch vehicle in a commercial launch by General Dynamics with support from the Air Force. The other ELV missions launched four Navstar Global Positioning System two Defense Satellite Communications System and one Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites as well as two classified payloads and four NASA spacecraft. The Shuttle missions included one using the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science ATLAS-1 to study the Sun and our atmosphere as well as the first flight of the newest orbiter Endeavour which rendezvoused with retrieved and replaced the perigee kick motor of the INTELSATVI F-3 satellite that the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization INTELSAT controllers then deployed into its intended orbit. In aeronautics efforts have ranged from development of new civil and military aircraft and technologies to research and development of ways to reduce aircraft noise and improve flight safety and security. A key environmental effort in FY 1992 was monitoring ozone depletion. One of the major Earth science highlights of the year was finding that like the ozone layer over the Antarctic regions with its well documented annual depletion the ozone layer in the Northern Hemisphere is increasingly vulnerable to depletion by synthetic chemicals. Several Federal agencies have cooperated to study this and other environmental problems so we can improve the prospects for future generations who will inhabit the Earth. The budgets for aeronautics and space-distributed among 14 different Federal agencies have promoted important advances in the Nation's scientific and technical knowledge promising to enhance the quality of life on Earth through improved scientific understanding provide a more viable economy and healthier environment and ensure we live in a safer world.

Apollo 14 Mission Events; January 31 1971 Launch

197180614Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Apollo Program Office 1971. Presumed First Edition First printing. Single sheet printed on both sides. Good. Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 5.5 inches folded in half and printed on both sides. Item has some wear and soiling. Front side has a detailed listing of events such as liftoff Translunar Injection Midcourse Correction Lunar Orbit Insertion etc. The other side continues with a listing of events but has two graphics detailing the events of Apollo 14 EVA-1 and Apollo 14 EVA-2. The Apollo program also known as Project Apollo was the third U. S. human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. It was first conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-person spacecraft to follow the one-person Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space. Apollo was later dedicated to President Kennedy's national goal for the 1960s of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" in an address to Congress on May 25 1961. It was the third US human spaceflight program to fly preceded by the two-person Project Gemini conceived in 1961 to extend spaceflight capability in support of Apollo. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Apollo Lunar Module LM on July 20 1969 and walked on the lunar surface and landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon the last Apollo 17 in December 1972. In these six spaceflights twelve people walked on the Moon. Rare surviving Apollo 14 ephemera. Apollo 14 was the eighth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program the third to land on the Moon and the first to land in the lunar highlands. It was the last of the "H missions" targeted landings with two-day stays on the Moon with two lunar EVAs or moonwalks.<br /> The mission was originally scheduled for 1970 but was postponed because of the investigation following the abort of Apollo 13 and the need for modifications to the spacecraft as a result. Commander Alan Shepard Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell launched on their nine-day mission on Sunday January 31 1971 at 4:03:02 p.m. EST. Liftoff was delayed forty minutes and two seconds due to launch site weather restrictions the first such delay for an Apollo mission. En route to the lunar landing the crew overcame a series of malfunctions that might have resulted in a second consecutive aborted mission and possibly the premature end of the Apollo program. Shepard and Mitchell made their lunar landing on February 5 in the Fra Mauro highlands - originally the target of Apollo 13. During the two walks on the surface 94.35 pounds 42.80 kg of Moon rocks were collected and several scientific experiments were deployed. To the dismay of some geologists Shepard and Mitchell did not reach the rim of Cone crater as had been planned though they came close. In Apollo 14's most famous incident Shepard hit two golf balls he had brought with him with a makeshift club. While Shepard and Mitchell were on the surface Roosa remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command and Service Module performing scientific experiments and photographing the Moon including the landing site of the future Apollo 16 mission. He took several hundred seeds on the mission many of which were germinated on return resulting in the so-called Moon trees that were widely distributed in the following years. After liftoff from the surface and a successful docking the spacecraft was flown back to Earth where the three astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean on February 9.
