  • European Participation in the Post-Apollo Program, 1969–1970: The Paine Years
    NASA in the World, 2013
    Co-Authors: John Krige, Angelina Long Callahan, Ashok Maharaj
    Abstract:

    The negotiations over European contributions to the post-Apollo Program concerned the biggest single attempt to integrate a foreign nation or region into the technological core of the American space Program during the first decades of NASA’s existence.1 These discussions were carried on for about three years, and engaged several NASA administrators: Thomas Paine, from October 1969 until he left NASA in September 1970; George Low, who temporarily led the organization while a successor was found; and then James C. Fletcher. They also engaged multiple arms of the administration: NASA of course, as the lead agency, but also the State Department, the Department of Defense, the Office of Telecommunications Policy, the National Security Council, and, hovering in the wings, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which assumed extensive powers in the Nixon administration.2 They were of deep concern to industry. And they were dominated by issues of technology transfer and launcher policy, here embedded in a framework that touched on matters of international diplomacy, national security, and American technological, commercial, and political leadership of the free world.

  • European Participation in the Post-Apollo Program, 1971: The United States Begins to Have Second Thoughts—And So Do the Europeans
    NASA in the World, 2013
    Co-Authors: John Krige, Angelina Long Callahan, Ashok Maharaj
    Abstract:

    On February 5, 1971, the Apollo XIV Lunar Module touched down on the surface of the moon. This was followed a few weeks later by the release of the President’s Report to Congress on Foreign Policy in the 1970s.1 The report used the successful completion of the Apollo XIV mission to reiterate that the achievement was not simply a reflection of American scientific and technological capability. “It is equally a measure of an older American tradition, the compulsion to cross the next mountain chain. The pressurized space suit is, in a very real sense, today’s equivalent of the buckskin jacket and the buffalo robe. Apollo XIV is the latest packhorse, and its crew the most recent in a long line of American pioneers.” It ingeniously introduced the international dimension by stressing that “mutual help and cooperation” was “essential to life on the American frontier.” In a reference to the new climate of detente it noted that NASA and the State Department had been instructed to pursue broader collaborative projects with Moscow “with the utmost seriousness.” Congress was also advised that while “substantial participation” was being sought in the post-Apollo Program, “the result is uncertain, for there are very real difficulties to be solved.”2 Two of those concerned the scope of NASA’s international commitments.

  • Geological and Sample Collection Training for Missions
    The Apollo Lunar Samples, 2017
    Co-Authors: Anthony Young
    Abstract:

    Among the most influential scientists involved in lunar science and the establishment of astronaut training for their missions on the lunar surface was Eugene Shoemaker. He also established a support team of many qualified geologists and geophysicists to assist in the training of the Apollo astronauts. The Apollo Program drew to it, as if by some grand design, the finest engineering, scientific and management minds in the United States during the 1960s. Every one of them was vital to the success of the Apollo Program. Eugene Shoemaker ensured the astronauts exploring the lunar surface could identify and rapidly collect the lunar samples that would tell the history of the Moon and, by extension, expand our knowledge of the Earth.

  • Testing the F-1 engine and S-IC stage
    The Saturn V F-1 Engine, 2008
    Co-Authors: Anthony Young
    Abstract:

    The Apollo Program required NASA to develop engineering, manufacturing, testing and launching facilities on an awesome scale. The civil engineering and construction projects to support the Program transformed the industrial landscape of the United States.

  • MSFC, Boeing and the S-IC stage
    The Saturn V F-1 Engine, 2008
    Co-Authors: Anthony Young
    Abstract:

    The development of the F-1 engine and S-IC first stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle succeeded essentially because of sound Program management. As a whole, the Apollo Program was perhaps the most complex American engineering project of the 20th century.
