Corner of front cover gone. Ex-library with the usual library markings. This reporting period was highlighted by the Apollo 11 manned lunar landing and the Apollo 12 second manned lunar landing. The two successful Moon missions fulfilled the national goal of a manned lunar landing and safe return within the decade of the sixties and convincingly demonstrated the technological competence of the Apollo program. In addition these flights showed the value of the space program as a unifying force in international relations for interest in the Moon landings and in the astronauts transcended national boundaries. This report addresses Manned Space Flight Scientific Investigations in Space Space Applications Advanced Research and Development The Nuclear Rocket Program Tracking and Data Acquisition International Affairs University Programs Information and Educational Programs and Supporting activities. 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 Commercial Crew vehicles and the planned Lunar Gateway space station. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for uncrewed NASA launches. NASA's science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System;10 advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program; exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic spacecraft such as New Horizons; and researching astrophysics topics such as the Big Bang through the Great Observatories and associated programs.

‎Untitled Photograph WB-57F; JSC2010E044008‎

‎Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center 2010. Presumed First Edition possible multiple original. Photograph. Very good. Format is approximately 8 inches by 11 inches. Image is 6.75 inches by 10 inches. Image appears to be a WB 57F in flight viewed from the underside again a blue sky. The NASA WB-57 Program provides unique high-altitude airborne platforms to US Government agencies academic institutions and commercial customers in order to support scientific research and advanced technology development and testing at locations around the world. Mission examples include atmospheric and earth science ground mapping cosmic dust collection rocket launch support and test bed operations for future airborne or spaceborne systems. The NASA Johnson Space Center JSC in Houston Texas is the home of the NASA WB-57 High Altitude Research Program. Three fully operational WB-57 aircraft are based near JSC at Ellington Field. The aircraft have been flying research missions since the early 1960's and continue to be an asset to the scientific community with professional reliable customer-oriented service designed to meet all scientific objectives. The Martin/General Dynamics RB-57F Canberra is a specialized strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed in the 1960s for the United States Air Force by General Dynamics from the Martin B-57 Canberra tactical bomber which itself was a license-built version of the English Electric Canberra. It was operationally assigned to the Air Weather Service for weather reconnaissance involving high-altitude atmospheric sampling and radiation detection in support of nuclear test monitoring but four of the 21 modified aircraft performed solely as strategic reconnaissance platforms in Japan and Germany. Three of the modified aircraft were destroyed with loss of their crews while performing operationally. The remainder were re-designated WB-57F in 1968. Four of the survivors were subsequently used by NASA for high-altitude atmospheric research. The others were retired from 1972 to 1974 and placed in storage. As of 2015 three WB-57Fs are the only B-57 aircraft model still flying in service with NASA. The WB-57 is a mid-wing long-range aircraft capable of operation for extended periods of time from sea level to altitudes well in excess of 60000 feet. Two crew members are positioned at separate tandem stations in the cockpit. The pilot station contains all the essential equipment for flying the aircraft. The sensor operator station contains both navigational equipment and controls for the operation of the payloads and payload support systems located throughout the aircraft. The WB-57 can remain aloft for approximately 6.5 hours flying both day and night so long as separation from hazardous weather can be maintained. With a range of 2500 miles the aircraft can be deployed to any continent. The WB-57 aircraft can carry up to 6000 lbs. of payload. The WB-57 employs a pallet system in the main fuselage area. The pallet system consists of interchangeable pallet modules. Pressurized and unpressurized pallets are available. The pallet system will carry a total of 4000 lbs. including pallet weight. Lighter payloads can also be carried in the aft fuselage tail cone wing pods wing hatches and/ or the nose cone.<br /> <br /> The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center JSC is NASA's center for human spaceflight originally named the Manned Spacecraft Center where human spaceflight training research and flight control are conducted. It was built and leased to NASA by Joseph L. Smith & Associates Inc. It was renamed in honor of the late US president and Texas native Lyndon B. Johnson by an act of the United States Senate on February 19 1973. It consists of a complex of 100 buildings constructed on 1620 acres 660 hectares in the Clear Lake Area of Houston which acquired the official nickname "Space City" in 1967. The center is home to NASA's astronaut corps and is responsible for training astronauts from both the US and its international partners. It houses the Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center which has provided the flight control function for every NASA human spaceflight since Gemini 4 including Apollo Skylab Apollo-Soyuz and Space Shuttle. It is popularly known by its radio call signs "Mission Control" and "Houston". The original Manned Spacecraft Center grew out of the Space Task Group STG headed by Robert Gilruth that was formed to coordinate the US crewed spaceflight program. The STG was based at the Langley Research Center in Hampton Virginia but reported organizationally to the Goddard Space Flight Center just outside Washington D.C. To meet the growing needs of the US human spaceflight program plans began in 1961 to expand its staff to its own organization and move it to a new facility. This was constructed in 1962 and 1963 on land donated by the Humble Oil company through Rice University and officially opened its doors in September 1963. Today JSC is one of ten major NASA field centers. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center unknown‎

‎Viking; Release No: 75-42‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1975. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. 2 26 and 7 additional illustrations pages. This is a Fact sheet containing information of NASA's Viking program. Contains sections on Viking; Viking Investigations Communications Management Responsibilities Viking Science Teams and Viking Questions and Answers. Illustrations. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched two spacecraft to Mars in 1975 to soft-land on the surface and test for signs of life. Even if no signs of life extant or extinct were found on Mars it is crucially important to study the nature of other planets presumed to have originated at about the same time and by the same processes as Earth. In this context finding that Mars is without life could be nearly as important as the discovery of life forms. The study of a planet--not too dissimilar from Earth--which has evolved in the absence of life would provide us with a yardstick with which to determine for example how the atmosphere of Earth has been influenced by the advent of biological processes. Comparative planetology will be of great value in understanding our own Earth and in formulating measures to protect our own environment. These possibilities make the exploration of Mars the most important objective of planetary exploration for many decades to come. NASA's Viking Mission to Mars was composed of two spacecraft Viking 1 and Viking 2 each consisting of an orbiter and a lander. The primary mission objectives were to obtain high resolution images of the Martian surface characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface and search for evidence of life. Viking 1 was launched on August 20 1975 and arrived at Mars on June 19 1976. The first month of orbit was devoted to imaging the surface to find appropriate landing sites for the Viking Landers. On July 20 1976 the Viking 1 Lander separated from the Orbiter and touched down at Chryse Planitia 22.27° N 312.05° E planetocentric. Viking 2 was launched September 9 1975 and entered Mars orbit on August 7 1976. The Viking 2 Lander touched down at Utopia Planitia 47.64° N 134.29° E planetocentric on September 3 1976. The Orbiters imaged the entire surface of Mars at a resolution of 150 to 300 meters and selected areas at 8 meters. The lowest periapsis altitude for both Orbiters was 300 km. The Viking 2 Orbiter was powered down on July 25 1978 after 706 orbits and the Viking 1 Orbiter on August 17 1980 after over 1400 orbits. The Viking Landers transmitted images of the surface took surface samples and analyzed them for composition and signs of life studied atmospheric composition and meteorology and deployed seismometers. The Viking 2 Lander ended communications on April 11 1980 and the Viking 1 Lander on November 13 1982 after transmitting over 1400 images of the two sites. Many of these images are also available from NSSDCA online and as photographic products. The results from the Viking experiments gave our most complete view of Mars. Volcanoes lava plains immense canyons cratered areas wind-formed features and evidence of surface water are apparent in the Orbiter images. The planet appears to be divisible into two main regions northern low plains and southern cratered highlands. Superimposed on these regions are the Tharsis and Elysium bulges which are high-standing volcanic areas and Valles Marineris a system of giant canyons near the equator. The surface material at both landing sites can best be characterized as iron-rich clay. Measured temperatures at the landing sites ranged from 150 to 250 K with a variation over a given day of 35 to 50 K. Seasonal dust storms pressure changes and transport of atmospheric gases between the polar caps were observed. The biology experiment produced no definitive evidence of life at either landing site.

‎Voyager 1 Encounters Saturn; JPL 400-100‎

‎Pasadena CA: California Institute of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory 1980. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. Quarto. 40 pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated in color. Slight wear to cover and edges. The pictures assembled in this publication are a part of the rich and varied harvest of information returned by Voyager 1 across nearly a billion miles of interplanetary space. These images are of great beauty as well as great scientific interest serving to remind us of the awesome and breathtaking dimensions of the solar system we inhabit. Voyager is providing intriguing new information which should help us to understand how the Earth—and possibly the universe—was formed. Already there have been surprises and puzzles that paint a completely new picture of Saturn and its neighborhood including the discovery of three new moons startling information about Saturn's rings and observation of the unexpectedly complex structure of Saturn's atmosphere and that of its largest moon Titan. It will take years for scientists to assimilate completely the information which is cascading down from Voyager. What more will this marvel of technology have to tell us before it departs the solar system to travel endlessly among the stars No other generation has had the opportunity or the technology to reach beyond our world—to see to touch to hear the forces that shape our universe. In slightly over two decades man has ingeniously explored five distant planets—and two dozen moons. We have seen their weather and surfaces landed on some probed the atmospheres of others and listened to their radio noises. Under the planetary exploration program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration the Voyager Mission begun in 1972 was designed to explore Jupiter Saturn their satellites rings magnetic fields and interplanetary space. Two automated reprogrammable spacecraft Voyagers 1 and 2 were launched in late summer of 1977. Their goals: the outer planets. Both spacecraft made astounding discoveries in the Jupiter system in 1979—a thin ring a thick ionized sulfur and oxygen torus an actively volcanic satellite—these were but a few of the treasures yielded by the two Jupiter flybys. Now Voyager 1 has completed exploration of its final target: the ringed planet Saturn and its enigmatic giant satellite Titan. True to the generally unpredictable nature of planetary exploration the treasures of the Saturn system far exceeded all expectations. We learned more about Saturn in one week than in all of recorded history thanks to one trusty robot no larger than a compact car and to thousands of diligent and imaginative people. Both spacecraft carry an assortment of optical radiometric and fields and particles sensing instruments. Taken together their data present a comprehensive picture of a planetary system—and clues to what is happening what has happened and what may happen in our universe. This publication presents the preliminary photographic results of Voyager 1's encounter with Saturn and its major satellites. Voyager 1 transmitted over 17500 images in its four months of close observations of the system. Many of these images have been combined to produce mosaics and color pictures. Hundreds have yet to be closely examined. The second Voyager spacecraft will begin its close Saturn observations in early June 1981 and make its closest approach to the planet's northern hemisphere on August 25. Then due to its launch during a period of rare planetary alignment occurring only once every 175 years Voyager 2 will be able to continue on to a rendezvous with the seventh planet Uranus in January 1986 and perhaps even the eighth planet Neptune in August 1989. Voyager 1's primary mission is complete. But its usefulness is far from over. As we go about our daily business Voyager 1 is searching for another frontier—the edge of our solar system. In 7 to 15 years the spacecraft will cross the heliopause—the farthest reaches of our Sun's magnetic field influence. Then high above our ecliptic plane Voyager 1 will continue its flight toward the star Alpha Ophiuchus. Eventually Voyager 1 will be too distant to communicate with Earth and will silently drift in space forever. California Institute of Technology, Jet Propulsion Laboratory paperback‎
