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 201 - Each contract entered into by the Administrator with any party for the performance of any work shall contain effective provisions under which such party shall furnish promptly to the Administrator a written report containing full and complete technical information concerning any invention, discovery, improvement, or innovation which may be made in the performance of any such work.
Stran 5 - The establishment of long-range studies of the potential benefits to be gained from, the opportunities for, and the problems involved in the utilization of aeronautical...
Stran 224 - ... 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 220 - The rate of Center growth will be gradual and represents an investment in the future of space flight, analogous to the investment made in the older Research Centers many years ago which is paying off so handsomely today. This rate of growth together with up-grading of Center personnel by continued graduate education after they are on-board is expected to allow us to meet our staffing requirements with little or no impact on scientific and engineering manpower as projected during this growth period....
Stran 16 - ... today. NASA's work in these well-equipped laboratories embraces research into practically every problem of aeronautical and space flight as well as experimentation in the sciences which undergird exploration of the universe. 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...
Stran 214 - He is a member of Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Sigma Gamma Tau, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Stran 214 - Holmes was with Western Electric Co. and Bell Telephone Laboratories between 1945 and 1953 where he initiated and developed the first precision recording transmission measuring set and other test equipment for the black and white television coaxial system. During World War II he served in the US Navy as a radar specialist officer. He and his wife, Dorothy Ann, have two daughters, Dorothy and Katherine.
Stran 120 - There is no more important field at the present time than communications, and we must grasp the advantages presented to us by the communications satellite to use this medium wisely and effectively to insure greater understanding among the peoples of the world.
