I contacted him on 27 January, just after returning from Innsbruck and I sent a message to you and Gladkov with full details on 27 January, via TCN. On 28 January I recieved acknowledgement via TCN that the message had been read in Moscow. Based on your statement that the paper was completed and would be given to Schatz I promised O'Neill that Feoktistov's paper would be delivered no later than mid-February. O'Neill's staff assured me that they needed the paper as soon as possible, that the invitation was still in effect, and that they would waive the $290. They also requested that Feoktistov contact them directly on all further matters. All of this is detailed in my 27 January message. I am embarassed and disturbed by the fact that the paper was not delivered when Schatz went to Gladkov to pick it up. Furthermore, we notified you and the USA/Canada Inst by telex, TCN and phone calls at various times of two later visits to Moscow by Jim Garrison and Jim Hickman and each time we got no response and no paper was provided. There is still no paper. Nor has O'Neill's staff been contacted by Feoktistov or his representative despite at least three requests that he do so. I can do no more. I will re-send to you in a separate message the original message of 27 January. I urge you and/or Feoktistov to contact O'Neill directly and advise him of your intentions.

  • Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space
    SALYUT: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space December 1983 NTIS order #PB84-181437 Recommended Citation: SALYUT: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space–A Technical Mere- orandum (Washington, D. C.: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA- TM-STI-14, December 1983). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 83-600624 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword As the other major spacefaring nation, the Soviet Union is a subject of interest to the American people and Congress in their deliberations concerning the future of U.S. space activities. In the course of an assessment of Civilian Space Stations, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) has undertaken a study of the presence of Soviets in space and their Salyut space stations, in order to provide Congress with an informed view of Soviet capabilities and intentions. The major element in this technical memorandum was a workshop held at OTA in December 1982: it was the first occasion when a significant number of experts in this area of Soviet space activities had met for extended unclassified discussion. As a result of the workshop, OTA prepared this technical memorandum, “Salyut: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space. ” It has been reviewed extensively by workshop participants and others familiar with Soviet space activities. Also in December 1982, OTA wrote to the U. S. S. R.’s Ambassador to the United States Anatoliy Dobrynin, requesting any information concerning present and future Soviet space activities that the Soviet Union judged could be of value to the OTA assess- ment of civilian space stations.

  • Human-Machine Issues in the Soviet Space Program1
    CHAPTER 4 HUMAN-MACHINE ISSUES IN THE SOVIET SPACE PROGRAM1 Slava Gerovitch n December 1968, Lieutenant General Nikolai Kamanin, the Deputy Chief Iof the Air Force’s General Staff in charge of cosmonaut selection and training, wrote an article for the Red Star, the Soviet Armed Forces newspaper, about the forthcoming launch of Apollo 8. He entitled his article “Unjustified Risk” and said all the right things that Soviet propaganda norms prescribed in this case. But he also kept a private diary. In that diary, he confessed what he could not say in an open publication.“Why do the Americans attempt a circumlunar flight before we do?” he asked. Part of his private answer was that Soviet spacecraft designers “over-automated” their spacecraft and relegated the cosmonaut to the role of a monitor, if not a mere passenger. The attempts to create a fully automatic control system for the Soyuz spacecraft, he believed, critically delayed its development. “We have fallen behind the United States for two or three years,” he wrote in the diary.“We could have been first on the Moon.”2 Kamanin’scriticism wassharedbymanyinthe cosmonautcorps who describedthe Soviet approach to thedivisionoffunctionbetween humanand machineas“thedominationofautomata.”3 Yet among the spacecraft designers, 1. I wish to thank David Mindell, whose work on human-machine issues in the U.S. space program provided an important reference point for my own study of a parallel Soviet story. Many ideas for this paper emerged out of discussions with David in the course of our collaboration on a project on the history of the Apollo Guidance Computer between 2001 and 2003, and later during our work on a joint paper for the 2004 annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology in Amsterdam.

  • International Day of Human Space
    AIAA AEROSPACE M ICRO-LESSON Easily digestible Aerospace Principles revealed for K-12 Students and Educators. These lessons will be sent on a bi-weekly basis and allow grade-level focused learning. - AIAA STEM K-12 Committee. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering trip into space, the United Nations in 2011 named April 12 to be the “International Day of Human Space Flight.” The observance started in the Soviet Union as “Cosmonautics Day” in 1962. This expanded around the world to “Yuri’s Night,” which was established in 2001 as a time for promoting public interest in space exploration. The International Day of Human Space Flight is now six years old. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): * Discipline: Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science. * Crosscutting Concept: Systems and System Models. * Science & Engineering Practice: Defining Problems. GRADES K-2 NGSS: Earth’s Systems: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. Space is a very difficult place for people to live. To begin with, not only do astronauts need to bring their own food and drink to live off, they need to bring their own air to breathe. After one takes care of those basic things, other activities like brushing one’s teeth or taking a shower are very difficult. Taking a bath is out of the question; without gravity to hold the water down in the tub, the water would splash all over the place if the astronaut tried to get into it.

  • The Soviet Space Programme Through Museums and Memoirs
    Asif A Siddiqi Privatising memory: the Soviet space programme through museums and memoirs Introduction In the years after Sputnik, Soviet museums dedicated to space exploration played an important role as 'custodians' of space history. Artefacts in museums presented and helped to create a unifying 'consensus narrative' that fostered a shared sense of identity among both participants and observers of the space programme, an identity that underpinned the myth of a Soviet space effort whose engine was heroism, ingenuity and, most of all, priority.l Their claims were buttressed by a huge body of literature issued by 'official' journalists who extolled the virtues of the Soviet space programme. The state­ sanctioned histories served as supporting texts for the museums, where carefully-selected artefacts, usually spacecraft that had achieved certain 'firsts' in the early history of space exploration, were displayed and celebrated as monuments to Soviet technocracy. (For a discussion of Soviet space museums and Soviet exhibitions at World's Fairs, see Cathleen Lewis's essay in this volume.) Three elements defined the memorialisation of Soviet space history during the late Soviet era, i.e. from the 1960s to the late 1980s. First, writers and curators eliminated contingency from the story: all successes were assumed to be inevitable and the idea of failure was made invisible. Second, under pressure from censors, writers and curators constructed a space of 'limited Visibility' for both actors and artefacts, i.e. only a few selected persons - usually cosmonauts - and objects were displayed to the public. Military domination of the Soviet space programme engendered a culture of enveloping secrecy over most of its participants, institutions and artefacts.

  • Lunar Bases and Space Actmties of the 21St Century (1986)
    10 / SOCIETAL ISSUES STABLISHING A PERMANENTLY MANNED BASE on the Moon is, of necessity, a large and visible exercise of engineering and technology. Some Ewill see no more than that, but such a reductionist viewpoint misses the whole that is greater than the parts. A lunar settlement continues humanity's movement to accessible frontiers. It may start as a statement of national resolve or as a monument to international cooperation.It could be an heroic enterprise of epic dimensions or the stimulus for democratization of space through economic growth. One thing is clear-the Moon sits on the lip of the confining terrestrial gravity well and thus is the stepping stone to the solar system. The space program blends a curious mixture of romance and pragmatism. Goals are set by dreamers and implemented by realists. Many of yesterday's visions have been realized,but the awe-inspiring accomplishments rest on carefully executed, often mundane contributions from tens of thousands of people. The inspirational and the commonplace are both aspects of the human condition to be reflected in the space activities of the 2 1st Century, and both are discussed in the contributionshere. Any grand achievement by society must begin as an expression of the ordinary processes of decision making. Logsdon, an experienced observer of the space program, looks at the initiation of past endeavors for clues to the key elements of consensus. The debate over allocation of public resources revolves around the worth and expense of any program. Sellers and Keaton analyze historical space expenditures in terms of the gross national product of the U.S.and predict the availabilityof fbnding for major ventures over the next two decades.
