Corner of front cover gone. Ex-library with the usual library markings. This reporting period was highlighted by the Apollo 11 manned lunar landing and the Apollo 12 second manned lunar landing. The two successful Moon missions fulfilled the national goal of a manned lunar landing and safe return within the decade of the sixties and convincingly demonstrated the technological competence of the Apollo program. In addition, these flights showed the value of the space program as a unifying force in international relations, for interest in the Moon landings and in the astronauts transcended national boundaries. This report addresses Manned Space Flight, Scientific Investigations in Space, Space Applications, Advanced Research and Development, The Nuclear Rocket Program, Tracking and Data Acquisition, International Affairs, University Programs, Information and Educational Programs, and Supporting activities.

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Apollo Program Office, 1971. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Single sheet, printed on both sides. Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 5.5 inches, folded in half, and printed on both sides. Item has some wear and soiling. Front side has a detailed listing of events such as liftoff, Translunar Injection, Midcourse Correction, Lunar Orbit Insertion, etc. The other side continues with a listing of events but has two graphics detailing the events of Apollo 14 EVA-1 and Apollo 14 EVA-2. The Apollo program, also known as Project Apollo, was the third U. S. human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. It was first conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-person spacecraft to follow the one-person Project Mercury, which put the first Americans in space. Apollo was later dedicated to President Kennedy's national goal for the 1960s of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" in an address to Congress on May 25, 1961. It was the third US human spaceflight program to fly, preceded by the two-person Project Gemini conceived in 1961 to extend spaceflight capability in support of Apollo. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Apollo Lunar Module (LM) on July 20, 1969, and walked on the lunar surface and landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last, Apollo 17, in December 1972. In these six spaceflights, twelve people walked on the Moon. Rare surviving Apollo 14 ephemera. More
Pasadena, CA: California Institute of Technology, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 1980. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Quarto. 40 pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated in color. 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
