Kennedy Space Center KLC FOAM 16-12 IREV. 0 761 FOREWORD Orbiter Columbia was launched three times in 1982. STS-3 and STS-4 were develqpment flights; STS-5 was the first operational flight carrying a crew of four and deploying the first t@o shuttle-borne satellites, SBS-C and ANIK-C. A number of communications satellites, using expendable vehicles, successfully launched. Major changes in contracting were underway with procurement activity aimed at consolidating support services performed by 14 different contractors into a single base operations contract. EG&G, Inc., a Massachussetts-based firm, was selected as the base operations contractor. This Chronology records events during 1982 in which the John F. Kennedy Space Center had prominent involvement and interest. Materials were selected from Aviation Week and Space Technology, Defense Daily, Miami Herald, Sentinel Star (Orlando), Today (Cocoa), Spaceport News (KSC), NASA News Releases, and other sources. The document, as part of the KSC history program, provides a reference source for historians and other researchers. Arrangement is by month; items are by date of the published sources.

    Dr. Franklin R. Chang Díaz Chairman and CEO, Ad Astra Rocket Company Franklin Chang Díaz was born April 5, 1950, in San José, Costa Rica, to the late Mr. Ramón A. Chang Morales and Mrs. María Eugenia Díaz Romero. At the age of 18, having completed his secondary education at Colegio de La Salle in Costa Rica, he left his family for the United States to pursue his dream of becoming a rocket scientist and an astronaut. Arriving in Hartford Connecticut in the Dr. Franklin R. Chang Díaz fall of 1968 with $50 dollars in his pocket and speaking no English, he stayed with relatives, enrolled at Hartford Public High School where he learned English and graduated again in the spring of 1969. That year he also earned a scholarship to the University of Connecticut. While his formal college training led him to a BS in Mechanical Engineering, his four years as a student research assistant at the university’s physics laboratories provided him with his early skills as an experimental physicist. Engineering and physics were his passion but also the correct skill mix for his chosen career in space. However, two important events affected his path after graduation: the early cancellation of the Apollo Moon program, which left thousands of space engineers out of work, eliminating opportunities in that field and the global energy crisis, resulting from the I973 oil embargo by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The latter provided a boost to new research in energy. Confident that things would ultimately change at NASA, he entered graduate school at MIT in the field of plasma physics and controlled fusion.

Goodrich Alice R. Buchalter Patrick M. Miller of the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress NASA History Program Office Office of Communications NASA Headquarters Washington, DC Monographs in Aerospace History Number 49 August 2012 NASA SP-2012-4549 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Space Shuttle Annotated Bibliography PREFACE This annotated bibliography is a continuation of Toward a History of the Space Shuttle: An Annotated Bibliography, compiled by Roger D. Launius and Aaron K. Gillette, and published by NASA as Monographs in Aerospace History, Number 1 in December 1992 (available online at http://history.nasa.gov/Shuttlebib/contents.html). The Launius/Gillette volume contains those works published between the early days of the United States’ manned spaceflight program in the 1970s through 1991. The articles included in the first volume were judged to be most essential for researchers writing on the Space Shuttle’s history. The current (second) volume is intended as a follow-on to the first volume. It includes key articles, books, hearings, and U.S. government publications published on the Shuttle between 1992 and the end of the Shuttle program in 2011. The material is arranged according to theme, including: general works, precursors to the Shuttle, the decision to build the Space Shuttle, its design and development, operations, and management of the Space Shuttle program. Other topics covered include: the Challenger and Columbia accidents, as well as the use of the Space Shuttle in building and servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station; science on the Space Shuttle; commercial and military uses of the Space Shuttle; and the Space Shuttle’s role in international relations, including its use in connection with the Soviet Mir space station.

The guidance method is a variation of Shuttle entry guidance in which the parameters that define the drag profile are modified using quadratic splines to make the drag profile smooth and easier to customize. In general, in order to account for off- nominal entry conditions and ensure the vehicle flies the correct range to the runway, the nominal reference drag profile is modified on-line utilizing analytic expressions for the derivative of range with respect to the relevant drag profile parameter.

  • INVESTIGATION of the CHALLENGER ACCIDENT (Volume 1)
    INVESTIGATION OF THE CHALLENGER ACCIDENT (Volume 1) TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1986 HOUSEOF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEEON SCIENCEAND TECHNOLOGY, Washington, DC. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:38 a.m., in room 2318, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Robert A. Roe (acting chairman of the committee) presiding. Mr. ROE [acting chairman]. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. The House Science and Technology Committee will now convene. And, without objection, television broadcasts, radio broadcasts, still photography, or other means of coverage will be permitted during the full committee hearings this week on the Rogers Com- mission report. Today the House Science and Technology Committee begins an intensive series of congressional hearings into the causes and the ramifications of a great national tragedy-the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger and the loss of seven true American heroes. These hearings will take a three-pronged approach. First, we will look at the technology and the hardware that caused the accident. Second, we will closely examine the management problems and de- cisionmaking problems within NASA. And the last focus of our hearings, and perhaps the most important phase, will deal with the future of our Nation’s space program, and the question we must answer is “Where do we go from here?” The Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Accident has made its report to the American people. The distinguished Chair- man of the Commission, the Honorable William P. Rogers, whom we will hear from shortly, has done an outstanding job in present- ing to the Nation a remarkable document which fully, truly details the entire story of the failures in technology and human error that ultimately led to the shuttle disaster.

Status-Quo It was quite the fascinating spectacle, not only for little boys, when about two weeks ago, the final journey of the Space Shuttle Enterprise took course over New York skies. The “retired” shuttle will be installed at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum on the Hudson River and will go on display July 19, 2012. “Nice,” one may think, as something “quite distant,” at least under previously normal circumstances, will become closer to the eye of an observer. On the other hand, this is a somewhat “tragic retirement,” as nothing comparable, at least so far, has replaced the Shuttle or the entire related Space Mission. The same is true for the once fastest passenger plane, the Concorde, which was taken out of service in 2003 and not yet replaced with an equivalent.
