What if in 1971-72 the Congress of United States had rejected the Space Shuttle program? Was realistic the end of all USA manned programs,or yet in 1969 this option was dismissed by Nixon for National prestige reasons? If we have no end of US manned presence in space,realistically which program...

What is exatly this? An alternative type of MMU for Skylab or Shuttle? Is in a lot of space publications of 70s. P.S- (A Apollo docking probe on the nose)?? :o

Hughes designed geosynchronous satellite optimised to study mesoscale phenomena such as tornados, squall lines and large convective systems. Had the satellite been built, the launch vehicle would have either been a Delta rocket or the Space Shuttle. Severe Storms Observing Satellite...

1971 design for a Jupiter Entry Probe designed to sample the atmosphere of Jupiter down to a level equivalent to 17 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth. The proposed carrier vehicles were, TOPS, which would had the medium gain antenna from the baseline design replaced with one that could...

I've seen references to Jupiter drop probes dating back to the mid 1960's, but this upper atmosphere probe dating from the early 1970's is the earliest detailed design I know of, to quote the abstract: 1. The Jovian turbopause probe. Part 1 - The scientific requirements for the Jovian...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBI1-lS7rmU "This December 1969 film looks at the candidate space shuttle orbiters using M=20 electron beam flow studies. This gives an interesting look at some of the proposed designs. The only tunnels at NASA Langley Research Center reaching that speed are in...

Advanced Skylab. A great occasion lost. :'( A large space station for the Shuttle, straightway.

I could be mistaken, but despite the numerous mentions of BOR-4 program (which led to BOR-5 and then Buran) I haven't found a single topic devoted to it, so here goes. These pictures show the Kosmos-1445 sub-scale demonstrator being retrieved at sea after some flight test. The second one...

I'm re-posting this in a new thread to give this design a more proper identification and to have the thread ready when additional information (and hopefully the drawing) can be made available. I've done a few searches here on Dee Howard and haven't come up with anything. Should there be an...

After the cancellation of Voyager(Mars) in 1967 NASA started up a new series of studies to come up with a spacecraft for the 1973 launch opportunity. This Martin-Marietta designed soft-lander of 1969 was intended to put the maximum payload weight on the surface of Mars using a mission profile...
