University Blvd. Melbourne, FL 32901-6988 (407)984-7228/768-8037 ABSTRACT At the Kennedy Space Center, on 28 Her/ 1987, at the Second Briefing Meeting of the East Central Florida Space Business Roundtable, Florida Governor Bob Martlnez signed an Executive Order creating the Governor's Commission on Space. This action followed the Roundtable's initiative to the state dating from September, 1986, suggesting the formation of the Commission. On hand to deliver the keynote address was Dr. Gerard K. O'Nelll, a former member of the National Commission on Space. Dr. O'Neill's presence was no accident, since the purpose of the Florida Commission is to define Florida's role in the continued development of many of the concepts outlined In the National Commission's watershed report, Pioneering the Space Frontier.

  • (KSC) Rendering Illustrates the Original Concept for the Shuttle: a Fully Reusable, Multi-Mission Aerospace Transport
    Above: This Kennedy Space Cen- ter (KSC) rendering illustrates the original concept for the shuttle: a fully reusable, multi-mission aerospace transport. Both the carrier craft and the orbiter would return for a landing in this June 1965 proposal from the Convair Division of General Dynamics. (NASA) Right: NASA managers consid- ered possible alternate uses for Saturn booster hardware beyond the Apollo program. A shuttle-type vehicle approaches a modified S-IV Saturn stage in this illustration from a presenta- tion by KSC Director Kurt Debus on June 22, 1965. (NASA) 8 · PICTURING THE SPACE SHUTTLE Left: The spacecraft shown in the Debus presentation is a small, lifting-body type vehicle similar to those which had been proposed (or built and tested) by several contractors, including Martin, Northrop, and Republic Aviation. (NASA) Below: Some contractors de- veloped shuttle proposals that would utilize deployable wings to create a vehicle that could be launched vertically, yet could still land as a powered aircraft. This April 1967 illustration is of Chrysler’s MURP, short for manned upper-stage reusable payload, which would have had limited cargo space. (NASA) DEVELOPING A SPACEPLANE · 9 In two time-lapse images Maxime Faget, director of engineering and develop- ment at MSC, demonstrates the flight characteristics of a balsa-wood straight- wing configuration for a shuttle prototype. “We’re going to build America’s next spacecraft,” Faget told MSC engineers on April 1, 1969. “And it’s going to launch like a spacecraft and land like a plane.” (NASA) Faget’s model, which he built in his garage in Dickinson, Texas, is today on display at the KSC Visitor Complex.

    440 Project Apollo: Americans to the Moon Document II-1 Document Title: NASA, “ Minutes of Meeting of Research Steering Committee on Manned Space Flight,” 25–26 May 1959. Source: Folder 18675, NASA Historical Reference Collection, History Division, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. Within less than a year after its creation, NASA began looking at follow-on programs to Project Mercury, the initial human spacefl ight effort. A Research Steering Committee on Manned Space Flight was created in spring 1959; it consisted of top-level representatives of all of the NASA fi eld centers and NASA Headquarters. Harry J. Goett from Ames, but soon to be head of the newly created Goddard Space Flight Center, was named chair of the committee. The fi rst meeting of the committee took place on 25 and 26 May 1959, in Washington. Those in attendance provided an overview of research and thinking related to human spacefl ight at various NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the High Speed Flight Station (HSFS) at Edwards Air Force Base. George Low, then in charge of human spacefl ight at NASA Headquarters, argued for making a lunar landing NASA’s long-term goal. He was backed up by engineer and designer Maxime Faget of the Space Task Group of the Langley Research Center and Bruce Lundin of the Lewis Research Center. After further discussion at its June meeting, the Committee agreed on the lunar landing objective, and by the end of the year a lunar landing was incorporated into NASA’s 10-year plan as the long-range objective of the agency’s human spacefl ight program.

I. T. and Stanford during the past seven years. The latter activities have been described elsewhere* and are pri- marily the brainchild of Dr. William Bollay. The basic purpose of the institute is to provide engineering faculty with experience in the development of multidisciplinary engineering design courses. The conduct of such courses follows a prescribed pattern* and the institute itself becomes a case study in organized creative design for the benefit of participating faculty. The academic objectives of this type of course revolve around the following key concepts : O The systems approach views the problem in its entirety, not as a set of unrelated aspects.
