During the decade from 1989–1998, NASA used two types of launch systems, one consisting of several families of expendable launch vehicles (ELV) and the second consisting of the world’s only partially reusable launch system—the Space Shuttle. A significant challenge NASA faced during the decade was the development of technologies needed to design and implement a new reusable launch system that would prove less expensive than the Shuttle. Although some attempts seemed promising, none succeeded. This chapter addresses most subjects relating to access to space and space transportation. It discusses and describes ELVs, the Space Shuttle in its launch vehicle function, and NASA’s attempts to develop new launch systems. Tables relating to each launch vehicle’s characteristics are included. The other functions of the Space Shuttle—as a scientific laboratory, staging area for repair missions, and a prime element of the Space Station program—are discussed in the next chapter, Human Spaceflight. This chapter also provides a brief review of launch systems in the past decade, an overview of policy relating to launch systems, a summary of the management of NASA’s launch systems programs, and tables of funding data. The Last Decade Reviewed (1979–1988) From 1979 through 1988, NASA used families of ELVs that had seen service during the previous decade.

  • Army Ballistic Missile Programs at Cape Canaveral 1953 – 1988
    ARMY BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAMS AT CAPE CANAVERAL 1953 – 1988 by Mark C. Cleary 45th SPACE WING History Office TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface…………………………………………………… iii INTRODUCTION……………………………………… 1 REDSTONE……………………………………………… 15 JUPITER…………………………………………………. 44 PERSHING………………………………………………. 68 CONCLUSION………………………………………….. 90 ii Preface The United States Army has sponsored far fewer launches on the Eastern Range than either the Air Force or the Navy. Only about a tenth of the range’s missile and space flights can be attributed to Army programs, versus more than a third sponsored by each of the other services. Nevertheless, numbers seldom tell the whole story, and we would be guilty of a grave disservice if we overlooked the Army’s impressive achievements in the development of rocket- powered vehicles, missile guidance systems, and reentry vehicle technologies from the late 1940s onward. Several years of experimental flights were conducted at the White Sands Proving Ground before the Army sponsored the first two ballistic missile launches from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in July 1950. In June 1950, the Army moved some of its most important guided missile projects from Fort Bliss, Texas, to Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama. Work began in earnest on the REDSTONE ballistic missile program shortly thereafter. In many ways, the early Army missile programs set the tone for the development of other ballistic missiles and range instrumentation by other military branches in the 1950s. PERSHING missile launches continued at the Cape in the 1960s, and they were followed by PERSHING 1A and PERSHING II launches in the 1970s and 1980s. This study begins with a summary of the major events leading up to the REDSTONE missile program at Cape Canaveral.

  • Poems on Liberty
    poems on liberty reflections for Belarus Translated by Vera Rich Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Sweet Land Of Liberty As our listeners well know, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty focuses primary attention on the development of democracy, human rights issues, and the war on terror. RFE/RL broadcasts news, not the arts. Belarus, however, is the sole country in Europe to which our station is forced to broadcast from abroad like in the Cold War era. Belarus is also one of the few countries in our broadcast region where a poet today can be imprisoned for his or her writings. Thus, it is particularly fitting that the Belarus Service chose to devote several minutes of airtime each day during the whole year to publicize the work of poets whose voices would otherwise be strangled and silenced. Indeed, it is RFE/RL’s mission “to seek, receive and impart information and ideas regardless of frontiers.” To that end, the ideas expressed in the “Poems on Liberty” are no less important than those found elsewhere in our programming, and are part of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. RFE/RL received over a thousand poems on the subject of freedom. Poets from Belarus as well as some three dozen POEMS ON LIBERTY: Reflections for Belarus. other countries — from amateurs to Nobel laureates — (Liberty Library.

  • 10/2/95 Rev EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Report, Entitled "Hazard
    10/2/95 rev EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report, entitled "Hazard Analysis of Commercial Space Transportation," is devoted to the review and discussion of generic hazards associated with the ground, launch, orbital and re-entry phases of space operations. Since the DOT Office of Commercial Space Transportation (OCST) has been charged with protecting the public health and safety by the Commercial Space Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-575), it must promulgate and enforce appropriate safety criteria and regulatory requirements for licensing the emerging commercial space launch industry. This report was sponsored by OCST to identify and assess prospective safety hazards associated with commercial launch activities, the involved equipment, facilities, personnel, public property, people and environment. The report presents, organizes and evaluates the technical information available in the public domain, pertaining to the nature, severity and control of prospective hazards and public risk exposure levels arising from commercial space launch activities. The US Government space- operational experience and risk control practices established at its National Ranges serve as the basis for this review and analysis. The report consists of three self-contained, but complementary, volumes focusing on Space Transportation: I. Operations; II. Hazards; and III. Risk Analysis. This Executive Summary is attached to all 3 volumes, with the text describing that volume highlighted. Volume I: Space Transportation Operations provides the technical background and terminology, as well as the issues and regulatory context, for understanding commercial space launch activities and the associated hazards. Chapter 1, The Context for a Hazard Analysis of Commercial Space Activities, discusses the purpose, scope and organization of the report in light of current national space policy and the DOT/OCST regulatory mission.

  • Characterization of Spacecraft Materials Using Reflectance Spectroscopy
    Characterization of spacecraft materials using reflectance spectroscopy Jacqueline A. Reyes University of Texas at El Paso-Jacobs JETS Contract, El Paso, TX 79968 Darren Cone University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, TX 79968 ABSTRACT Materials interact with light in a unique manner due to their individual elemental composition. Elements emit different light energies that fall within the electromagnetic spectrum, therefore corresponding to a specified wavelength per element. The reflectance spectrum produced from common spacecraft materials can be used to assist with remote orbital debris material identification techniques and can be further related to debris albedo and size. Materials used in aerospace design, such as aluminum alloys, stainless steels, ceramics, silicone paints, and solar cells, have been substantially characterized using reflectance spectroscopic techniques. An Analytical Spectral Device (ASD) was utilized to perform characterization on various spacecraft and rocket body structures by producing a spectrum relatively unique to a material from its properties in response to light. The materials used as specimen for this investigation specifically belong to a Titan IIIC Transtage test article rocket body, stainless steel radar calibration spheres, and solar cells used to construct a Hughes/Boeing HS-376 spacecraft. The spectrum results of said materials are presented in the subsequent work to enhance current spectroscopic data of interest within aerospace and orbital debris communities. 1. INTRODUCTION The space industry has succeeded in launching various spacecraft into Earth orbit to explore the nature of our space environment. This originated with the launch of the first satellite, Sputnik, on October 4, 1957 [1]. Since then, multiple space missions have been executed, leaving our near-Earth space environment populated with spacecraft.
