Following basic information on the atmosphere, solar system, and intergalactic space, a detailed review is included of astrodynamics, rocket propulsion, bioastronautics, auxiliary spacecraft survival systems, and atmospheric entry.Subsequentlythere is an analysis of naval space facilities, and satellite applications, especially those of naval interests, are discussed with a background of launch techniques, spatial data gathering, communications programs ,of)servation techniques, measurements by geodetic and navigation systems. Included is a description of space defense and future developments of both national and international space programs. Moreover, commercial systems are mentioned, such as the 85-pound Early Bird (Intelsat I) Intelsat II series, global Intelsat III series, and Soviet-made elMolnlyan satellites. The total of 29 men and one woman orbiting the earth In-1961-67 are tabulated in terms of their names, flight series, launching dates, orbit designations, or biting periods,. stand-up periods, and extra vehicular activity records. Besides numerous illustrations, a list ofsignificantspace launches and a glossary of special terms are included in the manual appendices along with two tables of frequencybanddesignation.
