Stran 5 - The preservation of the role of the United States as a leader in aeronautical and space science and technology and in the application thereof to the conduct of peaceful activities within and outside the atmosphere...
Stran 215 - Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of Phi Eta Sigma, Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma XI.
Stran 218 - He is a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the American Astronautical Society.
Stran 6 - ... viability of representative government and of the free enterprise system in a period of revolutionary changes based upon science and technology is being tested in our space programs. NASA Missions and Future Trends The NASA missions derive from the national objectives stated in Section 102-c of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958. These objectives, somewhat abbreviated, are as follows : (1) Expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space. (2) Improvement of the...
Stran 226 - ... regardless of his actual performance costs. This type of contract is best suited for procurements where reasonably definite specifications are available, price competition exists, production experience is present, and costs can be predicted with reasonable certainty. Since this type of contract provides fundamentally for a simple exchange of a specified sum of money for a specified item, it is the easiest and least costly of all contract types to administer. Examples of items for which we use...
Stran 16 - NASA feels that it is essential to engage in a sufficient amount of basic and applied research on an in-house basis to keep the entire staff immediately abreast of the advancing technology. However, the bulk of its basic research is financed through grants or contracts to universities, just as the bulk of the applied research or advanced technology is handled by contract with industry or nonprofit institutions. NASA executes its hardware development program through a series of "projects," currently...
Stran 4 - ... is understood and accepted. The nations of the world, seeking a basis for their own survival, continuously pass judgment upon our ability as a nation to make decisions, to concentrate effort, to manage vast and complex technological programs in our own and, not infrequently, in their interest. It is not too much to say that in many ways the viability of representative government and of the free enterprise system in a period of revolutionary changes based upon science and technology is being tested...
Stran 6 - To satisfy this responsibility we make many studies, both of our own and by industry groups under contract. Perhaps only a few of the studies will be along lines which eventually lead to hardware development. In the manned space flight area, the obvious candidates for additional or follow-on projects are more extended exploration of the Moon 'by the establishment of a station on the Moon permitting prolonged occupancy, a manned laboratory orbiting the Earth as a satellite, and manned reconnaissance...
Stran 150 - Langley Research Center has conducted materials addition experiments under simulated conditions of reentry which indicate that communications blackout may be eliminated by injecting water into the ionized flow field when communications are required. It is planned to verify these results in a flight experiment in the near future.
Stran 6 - ... artificial gravity is necessary in the manned spacecraft for planetary travel, and experimental demonstration made of assured reliability for the period of the journey. In the case of manned flight to the Moon the APOLLO vehicle is itself the space laboratory in which men and equipment can be demonstrated for the necessary period by orbital flights about the Earth, and in which limited scientific and technical Investigations not directly related to the manned lunar mission can be conducted. We...
