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.

200786128Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2007. Presumed First Edition First printing. Comb binding. Very good. 50 pages including covers. Decorative front cover. Phoenix was an uncrewed space probe that landed on the surface of Mars on May 25 2008 and operated until November 2 2008. Phoenix was operational on Mars for 157 sols 161 days. Its instruments were used to assess the local habitability and to research the history of water on Mars. The mission was part of the Mars Scout Program; its total cost was $420 million including the cost of launch. The multi-agency program was led by the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona with project management by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Academic and industrial partners included universities in the United States Canada Switzerland Denmark Germany the United Kingdom NASA the Canadian Space Agency the Finnish Meteorological Institute Lockheed Martin Space Systems MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates MDA in partnership with Optech Incorporated Optech and other aerospace companies. It was the first NASA mission to Mars led by a public university. Phoenix was NASA's sixth successful landing on Mars from seven attempts and the first in Mars' polar region. The lander completed its mission in August 2008 and made a last brief communication with Earth on November 2 as available solar power dropped with the Martian winter. The mission was declared concluded on November 10 2008 after engineers were unable to re-contact the craft. JPL declared the lander to be dead. The program was considered a success because it completed all planned science experiments and observations. The mission had two goals. One was to study the geological history of water the key to unlocking the story of past climate change. The second was to evaluate past or potential planetary habitability in the ice-soil boundary. Phoenix's instruments were suitable for uncovering information on the geological and possibly biological history of the Martian Arctic. Phoenix was the first mission to return data from either of the poles and contributed to NASA's main strategy for Mars exploration "Follow the water."

Each conference addressed specific regionally significant areas of technology and included exhibits staffed by federal agencies universities and laboratories.
