‎Defense Programs Strategic Vision for 2030‎

‎Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Programs 2005. Presumed first edition/first printing. Pamphlet. Very good. 2 iv 17 1 pages. Illustrations most in color. Acronyms. In 2005 the Nation's nuclear weapons enterprise put forth a vision for evolving the program and its design and production facilities and the underlying technologies and infrastructure for the coming quarter century. This document reflects work performed over the preceding two years that resulted in developing this vision for the future nuclear weapons stockpile and its support NNSA infrastructure. This vision was derived from a number of sources including the 2001 Nuclear Posture Review discussions at the 2003 Stockpile Stewardship Conference held at U.S. STRATCOM the Strategic Capabilities Assessment SCA and Administration guidance on the implementation of the Treaty of Moscow. The result was the issuance of the DP Strategic Vision in May 2004. Additional strategic management retreats and other discussions resulted in this updated version that defines the future state to be used for planning purposes. From the NNSA website: "The NNSA is responsible for the management and security of the nation's nuclear weapons nuclear nonproliferation and naval reactor programs. NNSA has responsibility for strategic and program planning budgeting and oversight of research development and nonproliferation activities. NNSA responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies. NNSA provides safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons and components and special nuclear materials. NNSA relies on contractors to manage site operations and to adhere to Department of Energy policies when operating the laboratories production plants and other facilities within the complex. NNSA implements an all-encompassing Stockpile Stewardship program that includes operations associated with surveillance assessment maintenance refurbishment manufacture and dismantlement of nuclear weapons as well as research and development and certification efforts.

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

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Aerospace Technology Commercial Technology Division 2001. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Very good. Quarto 133 1 pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated most in color. Maps Cover slightly worn and soiled. Special Millennium Feature. Foreword by Administrator Daniel S. Goldin. Daniel Saul Goldin born July 23 1940 served as the 9th and longest-tenured Administrator of NASA from April 1 1992 to November 17 2001. He was appointed by President George H. W. Bush and also served under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He began his career at NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland Ohio that year and worked on electric propulsion systems for human interplanetary travel. Goldin left NASA a few years later to work at the TRW Space and Technology Group in Redondo Beach California. During a 25-year career at TRW Goldin eventually became Vice President and General Manager and led projects that conceptualized and produced advanced communication spacecraft space technologies and scientific instruments. When Goldin returned to NASA as administrator he pioneered the "faster better cheaper" approach that proposed NASA could cut costs while still delivering a wide variety of aerospace programs. Introduction by Robert L. Norwood Director Commercial Technology Division. Since its inception in 1958 NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth ourselves and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos. Spinoff profiles NASA technologies that have transformed into commercial products and services. About 50 spinoff technologies are featured annually in the publication demonstrating the wider benefits of America's investment in its space program. NASA has a long history of transferring technology to the private sector. The Technology Transfer Program was formally established in 1964 in response to a congressional mandate to facilitate the process and the program has functioned under various names ever since making it NASA's longest continuously operated mission. Early publications about NASA inventions made available to the scientific and engineering communities resulted in feedback that indicated a broad interest in the private sector in acquiring and adapting NASA technology for commercial uses. As spinoff products began to emerge NASA began preparing annual reports on these successes to present at congressional budget hearings. These black and white Technology Utilization Program Reports published in 1973 and '74 generated so much public interest that NASA decided to turn them into an attractive publication for a general audience. The first four-color edition of Spinoff was published in 1976 and it has been published every year since sharing the stories of nearly 2000 products and services that began as or have benefited from NASA technology.

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2009. Part of Apollo 40 years series. Photograph. Very good. Format approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Image size is approximately 6 inches by 7.25 inches. The caption reads: One of the first steps taken on the Moon this is an image of Buzz Aldrin's bootprint from the Apollo 11 mission. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon on July 20 1969. Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20 1969. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface six hours after landing; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material to bring back to Earth. Armstrong and Aldrin spent just under a day on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit. After being sent toward the Moon by the Saturn V's upper stage the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered into lunar orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the lunar module Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility. They stayed a total of about 21.5 hours on the lunar surface. The astronauts used Eagle's upper stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module. They returned to Earth and landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24. Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by U.S. President John F. Kennedy: "before this decade is out of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." The Apollo program also known as Project Apollo was the third United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA which accomplished landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. First conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-man spacecraft to follow the one-man Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy's national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s which he proposed in an address to Congress on May 25 1961. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Lunar Module LM on July 20 1969 and walked on the lunar surface while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Command/Service Module CSM and all three landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon the last in December 1972. In these six spaceflights twelve men walked on the Moon. Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972 with the first manned flight in 1968. It achieved its goal of manned lunar landing despite the major setback of a 1967 Apollo 1 cabin fire that killed the entire crew during a prelaunch test. After the first landing sufficient flight hardware remained for nine follow-on landings with a plan for extended lunar geological and astrophysical exploration. Budget cuts forced the cancellation of three of these. Five of the remaining six missions achieved successful landings but the Apollo 13 landing was prevented by an oxygen tank explosion in transit to the Moon which damaged the CSM's propulsion and life support. The crew returned to Earth safely by using the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" for these functions. Apollo used Saturn family rockets as launch vehicles which were also used for an Apollo Applications Program which consisted of Skylab a space station that supported three manned missions in 1973-74 and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project a joint Earth orbit mission with the Soviet Union in 1975. Apollo set several major human spaceflight milestones. It stands alone in sending manned missions beyond low Earth orbit. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to orbit another celestial body while the final Apollo 17 mission marked the sixth Moon landing and the ninth manned mission beyond low Earth orbit. The program returned 842 pounds 382 kg of lunar rocks and soil to Earth greatly contributing to the understanding of the Moon's composition and geological history. The program laid the foundation for NASA's subsequent human spaceflight capability and funded construction of its Johnson Space Center and Kennedy Space Center. Apollo also spurred advances in many areas of technology incidental to rocketry and manned spaceflight including avionics telecommunications and computers.

The photo is displayed here in its original orientation thought it is more commonly viewed with the lunar surface at the bottom of the photo. In the image is the following quotation from Astronaut William Anders "We came all this way to explore the Moon and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth." Apollo 8 the second manned spaceflight mission in the United States Apollo space program was launched on December 21 1968 and became the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth orbit reach the Earth's Moon orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to: travel beyond low Earth orbit; escape Earth's gravity; see Earth as a whole planet; enter the gravity well of another celestial body Earth's moon; orbit another celestial body Earth's moon; directly see the far side of the Moon with their own eyes; witness an Earthrise; escape the gravity of another celestial body Earth's moon; and re-enter the gravitational well of Earth.

‎Mission Patch; STS-92‎

‎Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration. cloth. Very good. Approximately four-inch diameter with slight bulge for nose of the Space Shuttle. Names of the astronauts ring the image of the Space Shuttle and a piece of space equipment. STS-92 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station ISS flown by Space Shuttle Discovery. STS-92 marked the 100th mission of the Space Shuttle. It was launched from Kennedy Space Center Florida 11 October 2000. STS-92 was an ISS assembly flight that brought the Z1 truss Control Moment Gyros Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 PMA-3 mounted on a Spacelab pallet and two DDCU Heat pipes to the space station. The Z1 truss was the first exterior framework installed on the ISS and allowed the first U.S. solar arrays to be temporarily installed on Unity for early power during flight 4A. The Ku-band communication system supported early science capabilities and U.S. television on flight 6A. The CMGs Control Moment Gyros weigh about 27 kilograms 60 lb and provide non-propulsive electrically powered attitude control when activated on flight 5A and PMA-3 provides shuttle docking port for solar array installation on flight 4A and Lab installation on flight 5A. The mission included seven days of docked operations with the space station four EVAs and two ingress opportunities. Over the course of four scheduled spacewalks two teams of space walkers and an experienced robot arm operator collaborated to install the Z1 Z for zenith port truss structure on top of the U.S. Unity connecting node on the growing station and to deliver the third Pressurized Mating Adapter PMA 3 to the ISS for the future berthing of new station components and to accommodate shuttle dockings. The Z1 truss was the first permanent lattice-work structure for the ISS very much like a girder setting the stage for the future addition of the station's major trusses or backbones. The Z1 fixture also served as the platform on which the huge U.S. solar arrays were mounted on the next shuttle assembly flight STS-97. The Z1 contains four large gyroscopic devices called Control Moment Gyroscope CMGs which are used to maneuver the space station into the proper orientation on orbit once they were activated following the installation of the U.S. laboratory. During the fourth spacewalk astronauts Wisoff and López-Alegría tested the SAFER jet backpack flying up to 50 feet while remaining tethered to the spacecraft.

‎Amarillo TX: National Nuclear Security Administration Pantex Plant c2011. Presumed First thus. Patches. Very good. The patch is about 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches but the top is rounded so it is more like an arched window than a full square. It has a black border. The center has the image of the bomb a big dog and the text "B53" and "Last of the Big Dogs. On an orange border in black letters is "NNSA SS-21 Dismantlement DOE Pantex LANL LLNL SNL Y12 OST" From Wikipedia: The Mk/B53 was a high-yield bunker buster thermonuclear weapon developed by the United States during the Cold War. Deployed on Strategic Air Command bombers the B53 with a yield of 9 megatons was the most powerful weapon in the U.S. nuclear arsenal after the last B41 nuclear bombs were retired in 1976. The B53 was the basis of the W-53 warhead carried by the Titan II Missile which was decommissioned in 1987. Fifty B53s were retained during that time as part of the "hedge" portion of the Enduring Stockpile. The last B53 was disassembled on 25 October 2011 a year ahead of schedule. Development of the weapon began in 1955 by Los Alamos National Laboratory based on the earlier Mk 21 and Mk 46 weapons. In March 1958 the Strategic Air Command issued a request for a new Class C bomb to replace the earlier Mk 41. A revised version of the Mk 46 became the TX-53 in 1959. The Mk 53 entered production in 1962 and was built through June 1965. It entered service aboard B-47 Stratojet B-52G Stratofortress and B-58 Hustler bomber aircraft in the mid-1960s. From 1968 it was redesignated B53. Some early versions of the bomb were dismantled beginning in 1967. The B53 was also intended to be retired in the 1980s but 50 units remained in the active stockpile until the deployment of the B61-11 in 1997. At that point the obsolete B53s were slated for immediate disassembly; however the process of disassembling the units was greatly hampered by safety concerns as well as a lack of resources. In 2010 authorization was given to disassemble the 50 bombs at the Pantex plant in Texas. The process of dismantling the last remaining B53 bomb in the stockpile was completed in 2011. It was intended as a bunker buster weapon using a surface blast after laydown deployment to transmit a shock wave through the earth to collapse its target. Attacks against the Soviet deep underground leadership shelters in the Chekhov/Sharapovo area south of Moscow envisaged multiple B53/W53 exploding at ground level. It has since been supplanted in such roles by the earth-penetrating B61 Mod 11 a bomb that penetrates the surface to deliver much more of its explosive energy into the ground and therefore needs a much smaller yield to produce the same effects. The B53 was intended to be retired in the 1980s but 50 units remained in the active stockpile until the deployment of the B61-11 in 1997. At that point the obsolete B53s were slated for immediate disassembly; however the process of disassembling the units was greatly hampered by safety concerns and a lack of resources.

One side has a center image of the American Bald Eagle with the words Pantex NNSA. Around the central image is the following text "Department of Energy LANL LLNL SNL Y12 OST". On the other side has a center image of the B53 bomb and around the central image is the following text "SS-21 Dismantlement Final Unit Sept 2011". From Wikipedia: The Mk/B53 was a high-yield bunker buster thermonuclear weapon developed by the United States during the Cold War. Deployed on Strategic Air Command bombers the B53 with a yield of 9 megatons was the most powerful weapon in the U.S. nuclear arsenal after the last B41 nuclear bombs were retired in 1976. The B53 was the basis of the W-53 warhead carried by the Titan II Missile which was decommissioned in 1987. Fifty B53s were retained during that time as part of the "hedge" portion of the Enduring Stockpile. The last B53 was disassembled on 25 October 2011 a year ahead of schedule. Development of the weapon began in 1955 by Los Alamos National Laboratory based on the earlier Mk 21 and Mk 46 weapons. In March 1958 the Strategic Air Command issued a request for a new Class C bomb to replace the earlier Mk 41. A revised version of the Mk 46 became the TX-53 in 1959. The Mk 53 entered production in 1962 and was built through June 1965. It entered service aboard B-47 Stratojet B-52G Stratofortress and B-58 Hustler bomber aircraft in the mid-1960s. From 1968 it was redesignated B53. Some early versions of the bomb were dismantled beginning in 1967. The B53 was also intended to be retired in the 1980s but 50 units remained in the active stockpile until the deployment of the B61-11 in 1997. At that point the obsolete B53s were slated for immediate disassembly; however the process of disassembling the units was greatly hampered by safety concerns as well as a lack of resources.
