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? More
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, 2005. Draft Rev. 1. Disbound, held together with a binder clip. vi, 121 pages (single-sided). Tables. Figures (some with color). The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, known as ESMD, at NASA Headquarters in Washington oversees the Constellation, human research, exploration technology development and lunar precursor robotic programs as well as the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services Project. The Constellation Program oversees work performed at a variety of NASA centers, prime contractors and subcontractors located around the country. This work includes the Orion crew exploration vehicle, the Ares I launch vehicle, ground operations, mission operations and extravehicular activity systems. The Constellation Program (abbreviated CxP) is a canceled crewed spaceflight program developed by NASA, the space agency of the United States, from 2005 to 2009. The major goals of the program were "completion of the International Space Station" and a "return to the Moon no later than 2020" with a crewed flight to the planet Mars as the ultimate goal. The program's logo reflected the three stages of the program: the Earth (ISS), the Moon, and finally Mars—while the Mars goal also found expression in the name given to the program's booster rockets: Ares (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Mars). The technological aims of the program included the regaining of significant astronaut experience beyond low Earth orbit and the development of technologies necessary to enable sustained human presence on other planetary bodies.

Slight cover wear. The Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics (CAA) provides an independent, authoritative forum for identifying and discussing issues in astronomy and astrophysics with the research community, the federal government, and the interested public. The committee supports scientific progress in astronomy and astrophysics by providing advice to the federal government on the implementation of decadal survey recommendations. The CAA will issue reports that will provide guidance to federal agencies that support astronomy and astrophysics research. The CAA’s scope spans the full range of astronomy and astrophysics research, including space- and ground-based observations. The Committee's domain encompasses stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astronomy, particle astrophysics, cosmology, the search for extra-solar planets, and aspects of fundamental physics relating to astronomical objects. The CAA’s scope also includes appropriate cross-disciplinary areas and consideration of budget and programmatic aspects of the implementation of the decadal survey. More
Washington DC: National Space Institute, c1975. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Brochure. Trifold brochure. Format is approximately 25.5 inches by 11 inches.

Signed "With best wishes, Valerie Neal". Dr. Valerie Neal is an emerita curator in the Smithsonian's Department of Space History. She joined the Museum as a curator in 1989 and was responsible for human spaceflight artifact collections from the Space Shuttle era and International Space Station, most prominently the orbiter Discovery. She led the Museum's effort to prepare shuttle test vehicle Enterprise for public display and to acquire Spacelab, SpaceShipOne, the Manned Maneuvering Unit, the space-flown IMAX camera, and personal effects from several astronauts for the national collection. Dr. Neal's publications include Spaceflight in the Shuttle Era and Beyond (2017) which was the recipient of the AIAA Gardner-Lasser Aerospace History Literature Award. She has been instrumental in the production of eight Smithsonian Channel documentaries about the shuttle and other major engineering projects for space exploration. Before joining the Museum, Dr. Neal spent a decade as a writer, editor, and manager for some 25 NASA publications on shuttle and Spacelab missions, the Hubble Space Telescope and other great space observatories, the space sciences, and NASA history. She also participated in underwater astronaut-training activities and worked on the mission management support team for four shuttle missions. A Phi Beta Kappa, she earned a Ph.D. in American studies from the University of Minnesota. More

This is one of the NASA History Series. Homer Edward Newell Jr. (March 11, 1915 – July 18, 1983) was a mathematics professor and author who became a powerful United States government science administrator—eventually rising to the number three position at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In the early 1960s, he either controlled or influenced virtually all non-military unmanned space missions for the free world. In 1944 he became an NRL employee. In 1945, the communications security section became the rocket section. Newell became successively head of the theoretical analysis subsection, associate head of the section, and by 1947 headed the section; which performed upper atmosphere research using rockets including German-built V2s, US-built Aerobees and eventually NRL's own Viking.
