In the chaos that swept the United States after the launching of the first Soviet Sputniks, a variety of The First New Explorers satellite programs was sponsored by the Department The first of the new series of larger Explorer satellites of Defense (DoD) to supplement (and in some cases was the 39.7 kilogram (87.5 pound) satellite NASA supplant) the country's flagging "official" satellite designated as S-1. Built by JPL, the spin stabilized program, Vanguard. One of the stronger programs S-1 consisted of a pair of fiberglass cones joined at was sponsored by the ABMA (Army Ballistic Missile their bases with a diameter and height of 76 Agency) with its engineering team lead by the centimeters each. The scientific payload consisted of German rocket expert, Wernher von Braun. Using instruments to study cosmic rays, solar X-ray and the Juno I launch vehicle, the ABMA team launched ultraviolet emissions, micrometeorites, as well as the America's first satellite, Explorer 1, which was built globe's heat balance. This was all powered by a bank by Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) (see of 15 nickel-cadmium batteries recharged by 3,000 Explorer: America's First Satellite in the February solar cells mounted on the satellite's exterior.

While these first satellites returned a wealth of new data, they were limited by the tiny 11 kilogram (25 Explorer S-1 was launched from Cape Canaveral on pound) payload capability of the Juno I.

  • The Start of the American Space Exploration
    The start of the American Space Exploration Project Explorer This essay is dedicated to my wife, Estrella, and daughters, Raquel and Sara, for their help and encouragement throughout effort. 1 Carlos González 2 Carlos González It was October 4th 1957. The Soviet Union had launched the first Earth orbiting satellite, the Sputnik 1, and Americans were astonished to find that they were way behind in the space race. Werner Von Braun received the assignment to design and build a rocket to launch a satellite into Earth´s orbit while JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) at Pasadena, California, received the assignment to build a scientific satellite to ride on it. The mission designation was Satellite 1958 Alpha 1 and it was the first United States earth satellite built as part of the program for the International Geophysical Year 1957-1958. Launch of Explorer 1 As previously said the satellite was designed and built by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the California Institute of Technology under the direction of Dr. William H. Pickering and housed an experiment designed and built by Dr. James Van Allen of the State University of Iowa. It was launched from LC-26 at Cape Canaveral Missile Annex, Florida, at 03:48 GMT on February 1st 1958 by a Juno I vehicle. This launcher was a modified Jupiter –C ballistic missile designed, built, and launched by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA). The Jupiter-C was a direct descendant of the German A-4 (V-2) rocket originally developed in 1955-1956 as a high-performance rocket for testing purposes.

    91 Calabria Road Highbury LONDON N51HX Ms Liz Davis Managing Editor Telephone: Macmillan General Books (020) 7359 4280 A Division ofMacmillan Publishers Ltd 25 Eccleston Place LONDON SWIW9NF 31 May 2000 Dear Liz 'TD CODE J'61t ZERO by Ken Follett Many thanks for giving me this excellent thriller to copy-edit. It's a great read and, as usual with this author, the characterization is distinctly superior. The juxtaposition ofthe complex emotional lives ofthe central characters with the tense unfolding ofevents of truly global significance results in a truly engrossing read, full of all kinds ofdrama and tension. Wonderful stuff that will, I'm sure, sell spectacularly well for Macmillan and Pan. I had a couple of short telephone conversations with the author before he went offon a well-deserved brief holiday. He confirmed to me that, for the British editions ofCODE '10 ~ ZERO, he would prefer English spellings even though the terminology should, of course, given the setting, remain American. I have tried to indicate this to the typesetter and proof-reader in a 'Notes' sheet that I have prepared - you probably don't need this, in fact, since your prelim material looks pretty thorough, but it's a sort ofreflex with me by now. I hope that the various markings in the typescript will be largely self-explanatory. You'll see that, among other things, I've taken a belt-and-braces approach to such matters as italicization and have marked up passages already italicized in the text by the author with the usual underlining and marginal marks.

  • Birth, Life and Death of the Saturn Launch Vehicles
    1 ILR Mitt. 351 (2001) 5.5.2001 Learning from the past: Birth, Life and Death of the Saturn Launch Vehicles H.H.Koelle Technical University Berlin Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Marchstr.14, D-10587 Berlin 2 Birth, Life and Death of the Saturn Launch Vehicles H.H.Koelle Abstract The SATURN launch vehicle family is the classical story of the evolution and life cycle of a space transportation system. Its official history is well documented by historians or journalists. The author, in his function of Chief, Preliminary Design Branch, U.S.Army Ballistic Missile Agency, and after joining NASA, as Director, Future Projects Office, has had a key position during the years of developing this transportation system in the Huntsville team headed by Dr.Wernher von Braun. However, this was several decades ago and in retrospect, it may be useful now to reflect on this historical development with respect to the lessons learned. The evolution of the development from the JUNO 5 booster, to the SATURN I, IB and finally SATURN V is discussed in some detail from the viewpoint of the author. Excerpts of the autors weekly notes to Dr.v.Braun shed some light on the gyrations and problems the development team had to overcome. The life cycle of the SATURN's began in 1958, production stop was ordered in 1968, and it ended with the last launch of a SATURN IB in 1975. This report comprises 2 tables, 12 figures, 26 references on 38 pages. Key words: SATURN, launch vehicles, space transportation systems lifecycle Table of Contents: 1.Introduction 2.
