    NASA JOHNSON SPACE CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT ORAL HISTORY TRANSCRIPT VANCE D. BRAND INTERVIEWED BY REBECCA WRIGHT HOUSTON, TEXAS – 25 JULY 2000 WRIGHT: Today is July 25th, the year 2000. This oral history is being conducted with Vance Brand at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The interviewer is Rebecca Wright with the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project. Thank you again, Mr. Brand, for visiting with us today. In 1975, on July 15th, there was a historic moment in space when the two world superpowers for space exploration came together. You were very much a part of that. We’d like to visit with you about that role today. Could you tell us when you first became aware that the United States and USSR [Union of Soviet Socialist Republics] were going to have this mission, and what your thoughts were at that time when you heard about this never-before mission being planned? BRAND: Well, the agreement to have the mission was made between President [Richard M.] Nixon and [Soviet Premier Alexei N.] Kosygin of the Soviet Union in 1971. So sometime shortly after that, I became aware that there would be such a mission. I became increasingly aware because people like [Vladimir A.] Shatalov, [Alexei S.] Yeliseyev, senior cosmonauts from the then Soviet Union, came over. They looked at our facilities and met us. They were taken out to ranches nearby. Of course, this was in the middle of the Cold War, and there was a lot of tension between the Soviet Union and the United States, so this was all a very unique sort of thing.

  • The Role and Training of NASA Astronauts in the Post-Shuttle Era
    The Role and Training of NASA Astronauts in the Post-Shuttle Era Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board ∙ Air Force Studies Board ∙ Division on Engineering & Physical Sciences ∙ September 2011 As the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) retires the Space Shuttle and shifts involvement in International Space Station (ISS) operations, changes in the role and requirements of NASA’s Astronaut Corps will take place. At the request of NASA, the National Research Council (NRC) addressed three main questions about these changes: What should be the role and size of Johnson Space Center’s (JSC) Flight Crew Operations Directorate (FCOD); what will be the requirements of astronaut training facilities; and is the Astronaut Corps’ fleet of training aircraft a cost-effective means of preparing astronauts for NASA’s spaceflight program? This report presents an assessment of several issues driven by these questions. This report does not address explicitly the future of human spaceflight.

  • The Role and Training of NASA Astronauts In
    Co-chairs: Joe Rothenberg, Fred Gregory Briefing: October 18-19, 2011 Statement of Task An ad hoc committee will conduct a study and prepare a report on the activities of NASA’s human spaceflight crew office. In writing its report the committee will address the following questions: • How should the role and size of the activities managed by the Johnson Space Center Flight Crew Operations Directorate change after space shuttle retirement and completion of the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS)? • What are the requirements of crew-related ground-based facilities after the space shuttle program ends? • Is the fleet of aircraft used for the training the Astronaut Corps a cost-effective means of preparing astronauts to meet the requirements of NASA’s human spaceflight program? Are there more cost-effective means of meeting these training requirements? The NRC was not asked to consider whether or not the United States should continue human spaceflight, or whether there were better alternatives to achieving the nation’s goals without launching humans into space. Rather, the NRC’s charge was to assume that U.S. human spaceflight would continue. 2 Committee on Human Spaceflight Crew Operations • FREDERICK GREGORY, Lohfeld Consulting Group, Inc., Co-Chair • JOSEPH H.

  • Three Decades Ago, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, I Met the First Man to Walk in Space
    Three decades ago, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, I met the first man to walk in space. As a broadcaster, I was, at that time, a member of the on-air crew of Boston's Kiss 108 morning radio show. Entering the studio, I was greeted by the show's producer, Rocky (the late Richard "Rocky" Buono), who informed me that Russian hero and cosmonaut, Alexei Leonov, was set to visit our studio that day. Rocky knew that I was a lifelong space enthusiast who would be thrilled to meet General Leonov, and he had purposely not let me know in advance, as he had wanted this space legend's visit to be a surprise. It was a surprise, all right. For some inexplicable reason, earlier that morning, while dressing for work, I had abandoned my nearly-constant wardrobe of plain black clothing, and had chosen to wear a bold red, white and blue outfit that had been presented to me at a radio promotion. I looked, said Rocky, "like a walking American flag" on the day that a Russian icon would be visiting us. For the radio crew, my uncharacteristic fashion choice was a source of general hilarity. For me, it was a nightmare. As a proud American, I respect others who feel pride in their own nation, and would never wish to signal otherwise. I was about to meet a Russian hero... and I was concerned that my loud red, white and blue outfit might, inadvertently, send an unwelcoming message to a great man for whom I held tremendous admiration.

A spaceport will unlock economic growth and jobs in existing UK industries and regions, while positioning the UK to take advantage of emerging demand for commercial human spaceflight, small satellite launch, microgravity research, parabolic flights, near-space balloon tourism, and eventually high-speed point-to-point travel. Without a specific site selected and looking at the economic impact of a spaceport generically, this report expects the spaceport to deliver approximately £2.5bn and 8,000 jobs to the broader UK economy over 10 years. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 Executive Summary Our plan is for Britain to have a fully functional, operating spaceport “by 2018. This would serve as a European focal point for the pioneers of commercial spaceflight using the potential of spaceflight experience companies like Virgin Galactic, XCOR and Swiss S3 to pave the way for satellite launch services to follow.

Because it had been nearly twenty-five years since the end of Apollo they pointed out that many of the persons involved in that training might not be around when advice might be sought for future missions of this type.

  • 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.
