John F Kennedy Space Center: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2000. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Staplebound. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 63, 5 pages, includes covers. Illustrated front cover. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 11 inches. Illustrations. This includes information on STS-1 through STS 103, from 1981 to 1999. Not all numbers were reported on. The write-ups include mission highlights, EVAs, Launch, and Landing. This includes information on John Glenn's return to space and the first flight to the International Space Station. The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest modular space station in low Earth orbit. The project involves five space agencies: the United States' NASA, Russia's Roscosmos, Japan's JAXA, Europe's ESA, and Canada's CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements. The station serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields. The ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment required for possible future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1993. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], ii, 111, [1] pages. Map. 13 Appendices. Index. Includes Executive Summary; Space Launch Activities; Space Science; Space Flight and Space Technology; Space Communications; Aeronautical Activities; Studies of the Planet Earth; Other Aeronautical and Space Activities; and Glossary. The annual "President's Report" is a good summary of the Government's aerospace activities each year. Mandated by law, it contains information on aerospace activities conducted by 14 Federal departments and agencies, as well as appendices containing useful historical data on spacecraft launches and budget figures. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 directed that the annual Aeronautics and Space Report include a “comprehensive description of the programmed activities and the accomplishments of all agencies of the United States in the field of aeronautics and space activities during the preceding calendar year.” This year’s report has been prepared on a fiscal year basis, which is consistent with the budgetary period now used in programs of the Federal Government. This report presents a fascinating snapshot of the U.S. space activities toward the end of the 20th Century. More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2009. Part of Apollo 40 years series. Photograph. 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." More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2009. Part of Apollo 40 years series. Photograph. Format approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Image size is approximately 6 inches by 7.25 inches. The caption reads: The Apollo 13 Command Module splashed down in the South Pacific at 12:07:44 p.m. on April 17, 1970, after a harrowing mission in which a ruptured oxygen tank put the crew in peril. The red and white parachutes were the first signal to Mission Control that astronauts Lovell, Haise, and Swigert had defied the odds and made it safely back to Earth. Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970 from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module upon which the Command Module had depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to make makeshift repairs to the carbon dioxide removal system, the crew returned safely to Earth on April 17, 1970, six days after launch. The mission was commanded by James A. Lovell with John L. "Jack" Swigert as Command Module Pilot and Fred W. Haise as Lunar Module Pilot. Swigert was a late replacement for the original CM pilot Ken Mattingly, who was grounded by the flight surgeon after exposure to German measles. More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, c2007. Presumed First Edition, First printing this. Single sticker sheet, printed on both sides, peal line is about one third up from the trangle's base. The format is an equilateral triangle with each side measuring approximately 5 inches. Rare surviving copy. One side is the ARES logo (designed by Star Trek artist Michael Okuda). The other side has the following text: The Ares Projects The United States is leading the next phase of human Space exploration. The journey begins with two new launch vehicles--the Ares I crew launch vehicle and the Area V cargo launch vehicle--being developed by the Ares Projects managed out of NASA'a Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. These launch vehicles were for missions to the International Space Station, the Moon, and beyond. The rockets are part of NASA's Constellation fleet, which includes the Orion crew exploration vehicles, a lunar lander, habitats, rovers, and scientific equipment. Space exploration propelled by the area rockets promotes leading-edge science, leads to innovative technologies and products, expands economic opportunities, and inspires the next generation of scientists and explorers. Star Trek artist Michael Okuda designed the Ares logo, which will adorn both Ares I and Ares V. The Logo's 10 stars represent 10 NASA centers that ware working on the new vehicles. A bright star representing the Ares rocket ascends above Earth's outline depicted in the background. Michael Okuda is an American graphic designer known for his work on Star Trek including designing computer user interfaces known as "okudagrams". His work for NASA's Project Constellation, subsequently canceled, included logos for the Ares booster, the Altair lunar lander, and the Orion spacecraft. More
