So I found an engine program which wasn't on Astronautix by randomly reading documents on the US Space & Rocket Center's digital archives at UAH. The document in question is: Launch Vehicle Engines Project Development Plan MA001-A50-2H (1 January 1967) And here's the link to download the...

I was looking for information on the Lunar Surveying Staff, an instrument proposed for the first series of Apollo flights and stumbled across a report into the proposed lunar surveying instrumentation intended for the lunar flights carried out under Apollo Applications. What is of interest...

During the 1960's NASA looked at several possible improvements to the existing Block II Apollo's. One such study was by Bell and looked into a new design for RCS thrusters, which was theoretically scaleable from 5lb to 1000lb of thrust. Experimental auxiliary rocket engine, part I. Final report...

NASAs pre-Apollo program underwent a number of changes as the need to reach the moon before the Russians came to dominate the program. One concept, that was studied and not proceeded with was mounting a small (100lb) rover to a modified Surveyor. It was to be fitted with small scientific...

During the 1960's one proposal for the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was make it so that after the manned mission was over it could be used as an unmanned rover for further exploration. Here is the final presentation report for the Bendix Version...

CSM Experiments Pallet Proposed modification of the Apollo Service Module to permit a variety of Earth/Lunar orbit experiments to be carried. One such experiment evolved into the Apollo Telescope Mount fitted to Skylab. In a more limited form, this modification saw light as the SIM bay on...

1963, like rightly Scott says on his blog (http://up-ship.com/blog/?p=2640 showing gorgeous COLOR graphics of early Martin post-Saturns), was a great year for space and future. But what we'd say of 1960 ? The companies were not only working with great plans for a rather far-off future, after...

Just after President Kennedy May 1961 call for a lunar landing before the end of the decade, there was a lot of proposals for boosters capable to take a manned lander to the Moon: ever growing Saturns, and Novas built with the most diverse combination of stages, liquid, solid and nuclear. One of...
