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

New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [3], 270 pages. Illustrations (some color). Notes. Index. Signed by the author with sentiment on the title page. 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

Washington DC: Lockheed Martin, 2009. Copy appears to have been produced using a Xerox type of reproduction, presumed one of a few copies made for media distribution. Stapled at upper left corner. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Paginated by sections (approximately 140 pages, printed mostly on both sides of the sheets). Illustrations. Prepared for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by Lockheed Martin. The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned both as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA's Great Observatories. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) controls the spacecraft. The contents address: Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Configuration, The Hubble Space Telescope Program, The Value of Servicing, HST Servicing Mission 4, Reasons for Orbital Servicing, Orbital Replacement Instruments and Units; Shuttle Support Equipment, Astronaut Roles and Training, Extravehicular Crew Aids and Tools; Astronauts Servicing Mission 4, Redeploying the Telescope, HST Science and Discoveries, Galaxies and Cosmology, Earth's Solar System, Science Instruments, HST Systems, HST Operations, and Glossary.

Covers scuffed and some edge wear, very slight wrinkling to text. Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two people on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface six hours after landing on July 21 at 02:56:15 UTC; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material to bring back to Earth. Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21.5 hours on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit. 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.
