Washington, DC: NASA, 1987. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Quarto. xiii, [1], 140 pages. Wraps. Illustrations (some in color). Acronyms. Tables. Figures. References. Some soiling to covers. Spine faded. While listed as Volume II of the committee reports, this appears to be a stand-alone/complete report. This report was directed primarily at the international Earth observations community. It summarized the current Eos concept. IT showed how this mission could provide the critical space observations needed to understand the integrated functioning of the global cycles of energy, water, and biogeochemicals. It illustrated by examples how this same set of observations could address the needs of various scientific investigations within the individual disciples of Earth science. It recommended steps that could be taken to prepare for the Earth Observing System. More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, c2000. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Pamphlet. Unpaginated (8 pages). Illustrations (8 pages). This is a NASA Fact Sheet. Each NASA center creates and updates Fact Sheets covering its mission, facilities and projects. The ISS was originally intended to be a laboratory, observatory, and factory while providing transportation, maintenance, and a low Earth orbit staging base for possible future missions to the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. However, not all of the uses envisioned in the initial memorandum of understanding between NASA and Roscosmos have been realized. In the 2010 United States National Space Policy, the ISS was given additional roles of serving commercial, diplomatic, and educational purposes. This Fact Sheet was produced after Phase I was completed and, presumably, Phase 2 was on-going. More
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2011. Xerox-style reproduction. Presumed to be one of only a few copies made for media representatives. Stapled at upper left corner. 25, [1] pages. Illustrations. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; Jupiter at a Glance; Why Juno?; Mission Overview; Mission Phases; Spacecraft; Science Overview; Missions to Jupiter; and Program/Project Management. Juno is a NASA space probe orbiting the planet Jupiter. It was built by Lockheed Martin and is operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5, 2011 UTC, as part of the New Frontiers program. Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5, 2016, UTC, to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. After completing its mission, Juno will be intentionally deorbited into Jupiter's atmosphere. Juno's mission is to measure Jupiter's composition, gravitational field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. It will also search for clues about how the planet formed, including whether it has a rocky core, the amount of water present within the deep atmosphere, mass distribution, and its deep winds, which can reach speeds up to 390 mph. Juno is the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter, after the nuclear powered Galileo orbiter, which orbited from 1995 to 2003. Juno is powered by solar panels, commonly used by satellites orbiting Earth and working in the inner Solar System, whereas radioisotope thermoelectric generators are commonly used for missions to the outer Solar System and beyond. For Juno, however, the three largest solar panel wings ever deployed on a planetary probe play an integral role in stabilizing the spacecraft as well as generating power. More

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2009. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Comb binding. 31, [3] pages, including covers. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; NASA's Search for Habitable Planets; Scientific Goals and Objectives; Mission Overview; Spacecraft; Instrument - Photometer; Selecting the Kepler Star Field; Education and Public Outreach; Other Exoplanet Activities; Science Team; and Project Management. The Kepler space telescope is a disused space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit. The principal investigator was William J. Borucki. After nine and a half years of operation, the telescope's reaction control system fuel was depleted, and NASA announced its retirement on October 30, 2018. Designed to survey a portion of Earth's region of the Milky Way to discover Earth-size exoplanets in or near habitable zones and estimate how many of the billions of stars in the Milky Way have such planets, Kepler's sole scientific instrument is a photometer that continually monitored the brightness of approximately 150,000 main sequence stars in a fixed field of view. These data were transmitted to Earth, then analyzed to detect periodic dimming caused by exoplanets that cross in front of their host star. Only planets whose orbits are seen edge-on from Earth could be detected. Kepler observed 530,506 stars and detected 2,778 confirmed planets as of June 16, 2023. 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: This outstanding view of the full Moon was photographed from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during its trans-Earth journey homeward. When this picture was taken, the spacecraft was already 10,000 nautical miles away from the Moon. On board Apollo 11 were Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Buss Aldrin. Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong became the first 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 in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin spent just under a day on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit. More
