Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Rocket Girl the Story of Mary Sherman Morgan America's First Female Rocket Scientist by George D
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Rocket Girl The Story of Mary Sherman Morgan America's First Female Rocket Scientist by George D. Mo Rocket Girl: The Story of Mary Sherman Morgan, America’s First Female Rocket Scientist, by George D. Morgan. Margaret Weitekamp on a woman who helped get the US space programme off the ground. Mary Sherman Morgan raised a fine son. Actually, she raised five children: two boys and three girls. But before she retired to attend to her family full time, she worked as a chemist, first during the Second World War for Plum Brook Ordnance Works, testing the purity of nitric acid used in explosives, and later for North American Aviation, where she invented the liquid fuel hydyne (the first-stage propellant for the Jupiter-C rocket that boosted the first successful American satellite, Explorer 1 , into orbit in 1958). Morgan’s eldest son, George, has written a compelling memoir of his mother’s role as the first female rocket engineer. But Rocket Girl is not a straightforward biography; it is a detective story, a family tale and a historical reconstruction all blended together with the aim of resurrecting the record of this secretive but significant woman. George grew up to be a playwright, and Rocket Girl first appeared as a stage play produced at the California Institute of Technology in 2008. He describes this book, which draws on that play, as creative non-fiction. Faced with inconsistent family lore and an even more gap-ridden documentary record, he has relied on his dramatist skills to fill in the story. -
10 Jaar Bij Saturnus Nut Van Het ISS Wakend Oog Tropomi Katwijkse Postraketten Van De Hoofdredacteur
Petr Ginz Ruimtekunst ESA MC 2014 10 jaar bij Saturnus Nut van het ISS Wakend oog Tropomi Katwijkse postraketten Van de hoofdredacteur: Voor u ligt de vierde en laatste Ruimtevaart van 2014. Zowel met de NVR als de Nederlandse ruimtevaart lijkt het goed te gaan dit jaar. In oktober heeft de NVR de grens van 900 leden doorbroken en ondertussen zijn we al flink op weg naar de duizend. In september heeft minister Kamp een Nota over Ruimtevaartbeleid naar de Tweede Kamer gestuurd waarin een positief beeld voor de periode 2014-2020 geschetst wordt. Alle vorige nummers van dit jaar zijn iets later uitgekomen dan de geplande deadlines, maar dit nummer precies op tijd. De belangrijkste reden daarvoor is de in dit nummer opgenomen voorbeschouwing op de ESA ministersconferentie in Luxemburg. Het is weer onderdeel van een drieluik, waarbij de NVR na de conferentie, samen met SpaceNed, een lezingenavond over dit onderwerp organiseert, en ook in Bij de voorplaat het blad aandacht geeft aan de resultaten. In 2012 bleek dat de leden de aandacht voor dit onderwerp erg waardeerden, Eerbetoon aan Petr Ginz en Ilan Ramon door Barry Munden: “The vandaar dat we ook dit jaar dezelfde aanpak volgen. next time you look at the stars, think of them. They died so that one Verder in dit nummer aandacht aan ruimtekunst: kunstenaar day, our children may turn to look at the distant Earth and see the Ed Hengeveld is door de redactie bezocht en hij vertelt in een pain and strife of this life in its proper perspective.” interview uitgebreid over zijn werk. -

Chronology American Aerospace Events
CHRONOLOGY AMERICAN AEROSPACE EVENTS HAROLD “PHIL” MYERS CHIEF HISTORIAN AIR FORCE INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE AGENCY LACKLAND AFB, TEXAS 23 February 2009 EVOLUTION OF A CHRONOLOGY In 1981, as an Air Force enlisted historian, I worked for the Research Division of the Air Force Historical Research Agency (then Albert F. Simpson Historical Center) at Maxwell AFB, Al. For the next two years, I answered inquiries and conducted the Historian’s Development Course. While there I discovered a real “nugget,” A Chronology of American Aerospace Events from 1903-1974, gathering dust on an obscure shelf. I knew the draft document would be a handy reference for all enlisted field historians. In 1983, I took a copy of this chronology with me on my next assignment with the 39th Tactical Group in Turkey. The chronology proved to be an invaluable source in promoting Air Force history. It allowed me to prepare “Today in Aerospace History” slides for weekly staff meetings and write a weekly “Aerospace Highlights” column for the base newspaper. But at that time, the chronology was arranged by year and date, and it took considerable time to find events by specific dates. In 1985, I moved to the Ballistic Missile Office at Norton AFB, California, to write about the Peacekeeper and Small ICBM programs. The introduction of computers allowed me to convert the original chronology into a “By Date” product. I knew that the chronology was not an all inclusive listing, so I began to integrate events from other works—like the Development of Strategic Air Command, 1946-1986, The SAC Missile Chronology, and The Military Airlift Command Historical Handbook, 1941-1986—into an electronic product. -
