The Spaceflight Revolution: Nasa Langley Research Center from Sputnik to Apollo
As part of the transition to the broad research scope of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) starting in the late 1950's, the Langley Research Center underwent many changes in program content, organization and management, and areas of personnel expertise. This book describes and evaluates the evolution and activities of the Langley Research Center during the seventeen-year period from 1958 to 1975. The book was based on the a…

Federal Funding and Planetary Astronomy, 1950-75: A Case Study
Planetary astronomy offers an excellent opportunity to examine the effects of federal funding on scientific careers and specialties. Some scientists and historians have claimed that study of the moon and planets, once a major specialty in astronomy, became a minority specialty around the turn of the century, having been eclipsed by stellar and galactic agendas. According to this view, the space programme contributed to a renewal of planetary stud…
