In its twenty­ six years; this Space Congress has maintained its reputation as the premier conference on space technology and this year is no exception. The theme "Space - The New Genera­ tion" is appropriate with our Nation's challenge of success­ fully returning to space. The 26th Space Congress is sponsored by the Canaveral Council of Technical Societies (CCTS) and supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the De­ partment of Defense. In addition, the Space Coast com­ munities, local Aerospace Contractors and citizens are in­ strumental in putting together this most informative sympo­ sium. In the next four days you will hear outstanding speakers such as Congressman Bill Nelson at our opening session and Governor Bob Martinez at the Tuesday evening banquet. Panels will examine NSTS, Space Station and DOD's part of the overall picture. Panel Chairmen include outstanding leaders Mr. Arnold Aldrich, Lt. Gen. Donald L. Cromer, Mr. James B. Odom, Col. Robert T. Cote and Col. Vito J. Pagano. Technical paper sessions cover·such topics as the International Aspect of Space Station, Lunar Base develop­ ment, and Mission to Mars, to name a few. A Press Confer­ ence will feature well known media personalities and give us a chance to be on the questioning side. At the Wednesday luncheon Cosmonaut Valentin Lebedev will share his views on the 219 days he spent in space. We know that you will agree after this week-long symposium th at all our programs have been challenging and informative. We will be soliciting your evaluation of the Congress so that we can continue to improve this outstanding annual "Space" event. If there is anything any of the committee members can do to make your stay at the Congress more enjoyable, please let us know. We are happy to have you here and hope that you have a wonderful time. ~~7 L. J.

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.

The purpose is to present an analysis of man's capability in space. Conclusions are based on past experience in manned space flight, current research, and future expectations. The subject of automation and how humans anQ machines can be effectively combined in future manned missions is addressed. The role of man in space missions grows by the year. In the Space Station, he will be a critical system component. The success of this program requires that man's capabilities be employed most efficiently and productively. This paper presents the views of biomedical scientists as to what is now known concerning these capabilities and what are believed to be the key problem areas to be addressed if we ar~ to ensure best use of man in space. Summary Man's ability to live and perform useful work in space has been amply demonstrated throughout the history of manned space flight.

This interview with General Tom Stafford is being conducted in Houston, Texas, for the NASA Headquarters Oral History Project. The interviewer is Jennifer Ross-Nazzal, assisted by Rebecca Wright. Thanks again for taking some time to meet with us. STAFFORD: My pleasure. ROSS-NAZZAL: We know your schedule is very hectic. I wanted to start by asking if you would talk about the Astronaut Office. If you would describe it for us when you first came here, the camaraderie, maybe the jokes and pranks, the competition between all of you guys, the 16 of you that were here. STAFFORD: It was very small when I arrived. Of course, this goes back when I was a little boy, when I was five or six years old. I grew up in the dust bowl of western Oklahoma, a little town called Weatherford. The main street was old Route 66, now Interstate 40. As a little kid, when I was five or six years old, this was 1936, ’37, I noticed every day during the day two or three giant—what I thought were silver—airplanes would go over. Those were [Douglas] DC-3s, and the first transcontinental air route, American Airlines and TWA [Trans World Airlines]. I’d look 23 April 2015 Johnson Space Center Oral History Project Thomas P. Stafford up and I’d watch that, I’d say, “I want to do that.” I wanted to fly since I was five or six years old, seeing those airplanes.

  • THE BATTLE for DOMINANCE on AIRLINERS Page 18
    May 2015 THE BATTLE FOR DOMINANCE ON AIRLINERS Page 18 DARPA’s tailless cargo drone/10 Cosmonaut diary/38 A PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS COSMONAUT Anatoly Berezovoy (Russian Federal Space Agency) Roscosmos DIARIES 38 AEROSPACE AMERICA/MAY 2015 Copyright 2015 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Soviet cosmonaut Anatoly Berezovoy made only one space flight during his career, but it was one for the books. His 1982 mission, the first expedition to the Salyut 7 space station, lasted a then-record of 211 days. That record was broken 16 months later by Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Soloviev and Oleg Atkov, the third crew aboard the Salyut-7, whose mission lasted 237 days. During much of Berezovoy’s time in space — as well as afterwards — he chronicled his observations on paper. After Berezovoy died last September at age 72, his widow, Lidia Berezovaya, contacted Aerospace America through her husband’s longtime interpreter, Olga Tunison. Berezovaya and Tunison wanted to know if we were interested in publishing excerpts of his writings in English. We were very inter- ested, because the writings give a fascinating glimpse of a budding Soviet human space flight pro- gram, from the physical travails of learning to live in space to the social breakthroughs required for men and women to work together effectively in space. As commander, Berezovoy lifted off with flight engineer Valentin Lebedev on May 13, 1982 aboard the Soyuz rocket bound for Salyut 7, the final spacecraft in the Salyut series before the launch of the Mir space station.

  • 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.

    Creation of a “Cosmic” Human: Ideas, Technologies, Projects, Experience, Risks, Limitations, and Prospects Sergey Krichevsky1 Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Professor, Chief Researcher, S.I. Vavilov Institute of the History of Science and Technology of the RAS (Moscow, Russia) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1094-7770 Krichevsky, Sergey (2020) Creation of a “Cosmic” Human: Ideas, Technologies, Projects, Experience, Risks, Limitations, and Prospects. Future Human Image, Volume 13, 2020: 32-45. https://doi.org/10.29202/fhi/13/4 The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the problem of creating a new “cosmic” human in the paradigm of space exploration and the creation of cosmic humanity. The solution to this problem is the key one for the future human and humanity in order for our civilization to survive and develop within the scope “Earth + Space.” The definition of a “cosmic” human is given, and the periodization of the process of their creation in the form of four stages is made. The prototype of the “cosmic” human was created as a result of 60 years’ experience (since 1959) in the selection, training, space flights, and off Earth long-term life of astronauts from the USA, the USSR, Russia, the EU and other countries. Significant results were obtained, but the limitations were recognized: human properties and characteristics, existing risks, and technologies so far limit the time of continuous safe stay in space (up to ~ 1.5 years), the scale and pace of its exploration. For further expansion into space, it is necessary to go beyond these limits, ensure safety, develop and transform humans using new technologies.
