The 14th volume in the NASA series of day-by-day records of aeronautical and space events has somewhat narrowed its scope and selectivity in its brief accounts from immediately available, open sources. This year the emphasis is even more directly focused on concrete air and space activities. The 1974 Chronology includes fewer examples of public comment and reaction and less technical detail in more condensed summaries. Air and space highlights of the President’s budget are given in tables in the text. The routine notices of satellite launches are now in Appendix A only. Appendixes D and E, present Sounding Rocket data in table format. . Corrections for errors found in previous volumes of this series are carried on Errata pages following the index. The sources, identified by abbreviations that are explained in Appendix F, were those immediately available in NASA and other Government agencies, the Congress, and the professional societies. Cross-references are given in the text, and the detailed index will aid in tracing related events through the year. Condition: fair.
