I. History of NASA
0 N MARCH 3, 191 5, President Woodrow Wilson signed a Navy appropriations bill with a rider establishing the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA! to address the United States effort in aeronautical research. In June 1920, the first NACA facility opened in Langley, Virginia (see map). In August 1939, a second facility was authorized at Moffett Field, California (Ames), followed soon by another in C!eveland, Ohio (Lewis Research Center).
The space age began on October 4, 1957, whan the U.S.S.R. launched Sputnik I, the first orbiting artificial Earth satellite. That event sparked intense interest of the United States in space explo- ration. Congressional committees quickly devel- oped a space policy that was signed on July 29, 1958 by President Dwight Eisenhower. The National Aeronautics and Space Act created a civil- ian agency to conduct research in the fields of aeronautics and space science. It designated the United States as a leader in the utilization of space researsh for peaceful scientific and engineering purposes.
NASA's first Administrator, Keith Glennan, was appointed on October 1, 1958. The Deputy Administrator was Hugh L. Dryden. Its initial organ- izational core consisted of 8000 employees of NACA, and certain elements of the Department of Defecse concerned with scientific Earth satellite and lunar probes, the International Geophysical Year Satellite Program (Vanguard), the Army's von
Braun Team and its Saturn Launch Vehicle Project, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It was the first agency created from so many diverse programs that exhibited geometric growth in its earfy years.
NASA was different in both its method and its goals from other Government agencies. Created largely as a national response to Soviet space ini- tiatives, it was organized to achieve specific objec- tives. Unlike NACA, it directed a large-scale research and development program performed largely under contract with industry. NASA's high- est total employment year was in 1965, when it employed 34,300 (8.3 percent) Federal employees and 376,700 (91.7 percent) private sector contrac- tor employees. Its unusual scientific, technological, and management challenges during the early year: made NASA an agency different from all the others. NASA inherited personnel and programs from other established research and development agencies of the Government and thereby quadru- pled in 10 years. NASA also displayed an uncom- mon unity of general management as its top managers worked together in interlocking roles rather than in a multilevel management structure. An extensive documentation system was estab- lished with an open-loop communications system to ensure that engineering specifications and technical management decisions were imple- mented properly. By law, NASA's programs were open and unclassified, aliowing it to operate con- tinuously under public scrutiny. 0

0 NE OF NASA's first programs was Project Mercury. The Space Task Group at Lan~ley Research Center under Robert R.
Gilruth was initially formed with 36 members. Within 2 years, the efforts supporting Project Mercury had grown so large that a new installation was sought. Twenty sites for the new facility were considered in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, California, and Massachusetts. In September 1961, NASA Admini5:iator James E. Webb announced that Houston had been selected. With the commit- ment of President John F. Kennedy, on May 25, 1961, to a lunar landing mission, the Space Task Group was redesignated as the Manned Spacecraft Center in November 1961.
In September 1961, NASA requested the assistance of the Army Corps of Engineers in the design and construction of the new center to be built on 1020 acres of land given to Rice University by the Humble Oil and Refining Company (now Exxon). Rice deeded the land to the Government, and another 600 acres was purchased from Rice. The first phase of construction began in April 1962; the first permanent facilities were comple:ed in Septembor 1963. Final construction of all initial facilities was completed in April 1964. The first move of personnel from Langley to Houston occurred i? October 1962. Because construction of permanent facilities had not yet been completed, personnel were located in temporary converted apartment buildings, offices, and industrial buildings at 12 sites in southeast Houston plus facilities at Ellington Air Force Base (now Ellington Field). In February 1964, personnel began occupying the permanent facilities at Clear Lake. In February 1973, the Center was renamed the Lyndon 0. Johnson Space Center (JSC) in honor of the late President.
The JSC is now one of the nine major NASA field installations. The Center has been responsible for developing the Gemini spacecraft, the Apollo command and service mcdule, and the lunar mod ule. Modifications to the command and service module for the Skylab ana Apollo-Soyuz Test Project were also engineered at JSC. Currently, JSC is responsible for the design, development, and productiqn of the Space Shuttle Orbiters includ-
ing integrating all major elements into the Space Shuttle system; testing of manned spacecraft sys- tems; development and integration of space flight experiments; application of space technology; med- ical and space science research; selection and training of astronauts; operation of manned space flights.
Concurrent with the establishment of JSC, NASA realized that a specialized spacecraft propub sion test capability would be needed within the Agency to support the tight Apollo program schert ules imposed by the Kennedy mandate. Accordingly, the White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) was constructed near Las Cru8zs, New Mexico, to perform space systems testing of a hazardous nature. The isolated location and stable climate were ideally suited for large-scale, noisy, or haz- ardous tests. Propulsion testing began in 1964 with development and certification tests of the Apollo service propulsion system, lunar and service mod- ule reaction control subsystems, and the lunar mod- ule ascent and descent engines. Materials and components test laboratories were added in 1967 to support recovery from the Apollo fire, and these laboratories continue to provide unique test support for the Space Shuttle and now the Space Station programs. In the mid-1 9703, the Shuttle orbital maneuvering subsystem and reaction control sub system engines were qualified, and testing of these systems is continuing. Presently, WSTF is prepar- ing to support long-term testing for the Space Station Program.
The present and future of space exploration come together when astronauts test experiments and hardware for Space Station on Shuttle mis- sions. Astronal~ts are training for spacewalks to develop our experience base for on ohit assembly and maintenance of Space Station.
Space Cerlter Houston opened in October 1992. Space Center Houston is supported and directed by a non-profit foucihtion. JSC cooperates with Space Center Houston by opening its doors to tour groups and loaning historic space hardware formerly housed at the Building 2 visitor's center. Its relationship with Space Center Houston is part of Johnson Space Center's ongoing effort to enhance public understanding of the space program.0

PROJECT MERCURY
Project Mercury, America's first manned space flight program, officially began on October 7, 1958. Seven astronauts were chosen in April 1959. The program consisted of six flights total- ing 53 hour; in space and was filled with a num- ber of firsts. The first manned suborbital flight was on May 5, 1961, when Alan B. Shepard, Jr., was launched aboard Freedom 7 and became the first American in space. The secgnd subor- bital flight with Virgil I. Grissorn resulted in the first loss or a spacecraft in the history of manned flight when the Liberty Bell s a ~ k before recovery ships arrived. After this fl'zbt, Redstone boosters were replaced by Atlas rockets for the remaining Mercury flights. On February 20, 1962, John H. Glenn, Jr., aboard Friendship 7 became the first American to orbit the Earth. On October 3, 1962, Walter M. Schirra, Jr., landed Sigma 7 success- fully in the Pacific Ocean. All previous flights had Adantic recoveries. Finally, on May 16, 1963, L. Gordon Cooper concluded the $392.6 million pro- gram by cc~pleting 22 orbits in 34 hours in Faith 7. The Project Mercury program successfully met all of its objectives - to place a manned space- craft in Earth orbit and then recover the man and spacecraft safely, to demonstrate man's ability to survive and perform in the space environment, and to develop basic space technology and hard- ware for future manned space flight programs.
PROJECT GEMINI Or? Deceniber 7, 1961, NASA announced a plan to develop a two-man spacecraft. On January 3, 1962, this program officially bcame Project Gemini. It was created to develop technologies essential for a lunar mission (i.e., rendezvous and docking), build- ing an experience base to bridge the gap between Projects Mercury and Apollo. Its major objectives were to develop the orbital mecharllcs of ren- dezvous and docking, to perfect methods cf reentrj and landing, and to gain additioral infonation on the medical and physiological effects of weightless- ness on aewrnembers during longduration flights. The first Gemini flight nn April 8, 1964, was
unmanned in order to check the structural aspects of the spacecraft. The first manned Gemini flight was a threeorbit mission on March 23, 1965, with Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young. The first extravehicular activity occurred during Gemini IV whsr, Edward H. White II became the first American to walk in space. The first docking of two vehicles in space occurred on March 16, 1966, dufng Gemini Vlll with Neil A. Armstrong and David R. Scott aboard. During Gemini XI in September 1966, a number of firsts were accomplished: rendezvous and docking with the Agena target vehicle during the first revcilution, tethering of two spacecraft, ren- dezvous using onboard computations, docking practice, and automatic reentry. The November 1966 Gemini XI1 flight, with James A. Lovell, Jr. and Buzz Aldrin, marked the end of the $1.3 billion Gemini Program in which 20 astronauts logged 969 total flight hours with 12 hours of extravehicular activity.
PROJECT APOLLO On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the main goal for the Apollo Program - to land Americans on the Moon before the end of the decade and return them safely to Earth. Other goals included establishing the technology to meet other space efforts, carrying out scientific explo- ration of the Moon, developing man's capabtlity to work in the lunar environment, and achieving preeminence in space for the United States.
Initial planning for the Saturn I rocket had begun in 1957. In January 1962, NASA anno1 xed the development of the Saturn L, the largest ~&et vehicle ever to fly. Boeing Company received the contract for the first stage, North American Rockwell for the second stage, and Douglas Aircraft Corporation for the third stage called the S-IV B. Later in 1962, NASA announced that: the Saturn IB, which combined the first stage of the Saturn I and the third stage of the Saturn V, would be used for the Earth o r b i l tests of the Apollo spacecraft. In August 1961, the Massachusetts InstiMe of Tech- nology was selected to develop the Apollo space- craft guidance and navigaticn system and that same year North American Rockwell was selected
for the Apollo Spacecraft Command and Service Module Program. On November 7,1962, Grumman Aircraft Engirleering Corporation was selected to design and huild the lunar module. The first phase of the Satu,n launch vehide program was complet- ed in 1965. Testing of the Apollo command and ser- vice mdule was c;c~?lr>ted in 1966.
January 27, 1967, was a tragic day for the Apollo Program. A fire caused by electrical arcing from the wiring in a near-total oxygen environment inside an Apollo spacecraft during ground testing at Launch Complex 34 at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) resulted in the deaths of Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White II. and Roger B. Chaffee. Later that year, the program resumed testing, and on November 9, 1967, the first flight test of the ApolloISaturn V space vehicle was successfully completed. Apollo 4, as it was designated, had demonstrated the restart-~n-wbit capability of its third stage and the ability of the Apollo spacecraft to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at lunar mission return speeds. Testing of the lunar module was done on Apollo 5 and the final unmanned test flight, Apollo 6, was launched April 4, 1968.
The first manned Apollo flight, Apollo 7, lifted off from Launch Complex 34 at KSC on October 11, 1968. All subsequent A p o l ~ launches were from Complex 39. The Apollo spacecraft was suc- cessfully tested, and the first live television broad- cast from a manned space vehicle was made. History's first manned flight from Earth to another planetary body began on December 21, 1968, when Frank Borman, William 4. Anders, and James A. Lovell, Jr., orbited the Moon and trans- mitted the first live television pictlires showing the full Earth. Apollo 9 was the first all-up manned flight of the ApollolSaturn V space vehicle, the first manned flight ot the lunar module, and the first Apollo extravet-icular activity (by Russell L. Schweickart). The dress rehearsal for the first lunar landing was done aboard Apollo 10 as the lunar module descended to within 8.4 nautia! miles of the Moon. Also, the first color pictures were tele- cast back to Earth.
Apollo 11 attained the national goal set by President Kennedy in 1961. Launched on July 16, 1969, the lunar module touched down in the Moon's Sea of Tranquility at 4:18 p.m. EDT, July 20. At 1056 p.m. EDT that evening, Neil A. Armstrong stepped onto !he lunar surface followed by Buzz AMrin. Command module pilot Michael Collins ortit- ed above. During a 2-112 hour Moon exploration, 44 pounds of lunar samples were collected. Apollo 12 landed in the Ocean of Storms in November 1969,
near the unmanned Surveyor Ill which had been on the Moon for 2-'ii2 years. The crew brought back 75 pounds of lunar material and several pieces of the Surveyor. The mission demonstrated the ability to land at a selected point and included deploymenr of the first Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package for continuous scientific data ctrlloction on the lunar surface. Apollo 13 was launched April 1 1, 1 i .3, to land on the Fra Mauro uplands area of the Moon. A rupture of the service module oxygen tank on April 13 caused a power failure of the cc, . imand and ser- vice module electrical system which prevented the lunar landing. Using the lunar module for life support and propulsion, James A. Lovell, Jr., '-sd W. Haise, Jr., and John L. Swigert, Jr., retumeo safely to Earth on April 17. Apollo 14 in February 1971, took over the mission planned for Apolio 13 and brought back 94 pounds of lunar samples. On Apollo 15, David R. Scott and James B. lrvin explored the Hadley Apennine region of the Moon in the first lunar rover vehicle, collecting 171 pounds of lunar material. The Descartes highlands provided the background for the Apollo 16 crew in April 1972, to gather 21 0 pounds of lunar rock and soil samples, again using a lunar rover vehicle. The final Apollo mission, Apollo : 7, was launched at night on December 7, 1972. Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt became the first sci- entist-astronaut to land on the Moon as he and Eugene A. Ceman explored the Taurus-Littrow site and collected more than 240 pounds of samples. Project Apollo ended with the splashdown of Apllo 17 on December 19,1972.
The $25 billion Project Apollo Program sur- passed the goal set by President Kennedy by exploring the Moon twice hsfore the end of the 1960's. The six lunar lanalrigs provided scientists with enough sample materials, photographs, and electronic data to establish preliminary findings about the Moon which included
A lunar history time scale
General agreement that "sea" regions are lava flow and that most craters are projectile impacts
Scpport that the Moon haa h e n inactive for the last 2 to 3 billion years
A stronger than expected and variable magnetic field and a hotter t t , ~ r ~ expected interior
Distinct differentiation between the chemical comp~sition of the Moon and that of the Earth
SKYLAB PROGRAM 'he Skylab Orbital Workshop was launched May 14, 1973. During launch, the meteoroid shield needed to protect the workshop frorn tiny space particles and the Sun's heat was lost along with one solar wing. As a result, the entire Skylab pro- gram was endangered as hign temperatures made the 100-ton workshop uninhabitable, threat- ening foods, medicines, and films. On May 25.
between an orbiting Apollo spsc6;raft and the ground via the ATS-6 communications satellite. This new technique more than tripled the communications coverage otherwise available. The Soyuz mission ended on July 21 and the Apcllo mission ended on July 24, successfully meeting all the primary objectives which included rendezvous, docking, crew transfer, and control center-crew interaction.
~har ies Conrad, Jr., Dr. Joseph P. ~ e w i n : and Paul J. Weitz were finally launched toward Skylab SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM to begin their first task of erecting a mylar parasol to shade the area left unprotected by the missing shield and then begin their 28-day mission con- ducting experiments from their 269-mile high orbit. The second Skylab team of Alsn L. Bean, Jack R. Lousma, and Owen K. Garriott lifted off on July 28 for their 59-day mission. The third and final Skylsb mission began on November 16 as Gerald P. Carr, William R. Pogue, and Edward G. Gibson started their 84-day stay 1r1 space. A highlight of this third mission was ext~risive observation and photography of the Comet Kohoutek. The $2.6 bil- lion Skylab program ended on July 11, 1979, when the space station re-entered the Earth's atmosphere near southeastern Australia after more thar, 6 years in space and 34,981 orbits. Major accomplishments were made in solar and stellar astronomy, in detailed study of the Earth's resources from. orbit, in using weightlessness for materials prgcessing research, and in proving that man can work productively in space for extended periods.
APOLLO-SOYUZ TEST PROJECT The $250 million Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, the world's first international manned space flight, was designed to test compatible rendezvous and docking systems for manned spacecraft in an effort to open the way for an international spacs rescue capability. 0, July 15, 1975, three American astronauts (Thomas P. Stafford, Vance D. Brand, and Donald K. Slayton) and two Russian cosmonauts (Aleksey A. Leoiiov and Valeriy N. Kubasov) were launched 7-112 hours apart. On July 17, docking o; the Soyuz and A ~ O ! ' ~ ? spacecraft was accomplished and they remained together for 2 days while their crews conducted joint experiments and transfer apera- tions.
This mission marked the first time that voice, television, and telemetry were rulayed
The Space Shuttle Program was developed to achieve a national objective of providing eco;lom- ical access to space for research and commerce. Via reusable vehicles, payloads such as satellites can be delivered or retrieved. International involvement i- scientific experiments and slgnifi- cant usage j the Department of Defense are also part of the program.
The Space Shuttle flight system is com- posed of the Orbiter, an external tank that con- tains all the pro?ellant used by the three main engines, and two soiid rocket boosters. Tne Orbiter is about the size and weight of a DC-9 commercial air tra.isport plane, is designed to fly 100 missions lasting from 7 to 30 adys each with a maximum crew of seven, and can carry pay- loads of up to 65,000 pounds into orbit. Each of the three main engines is fed propellants from the external tank which holds 1,550,000 pounds of liquid hydrogen and oxygen at lift-off and is the only part of the Shuttle system that is not reusable. Each solid rocket booster contains the largest solid rocket motor ever flown and the first one ever designed for reuse. (See ,he Spacecraft DimensionsIFlight Summary Information section for measurement s!atistics for the Space Shutt'e system.)
On A ~ r i l 1;. 1981, a new era in manned space flight began as America's first reusable Space Shutt!e and the first winged and wheeled spacecrait, C~lumbia, was launched with John W. Young and Robert L. Crippen. This maiden flight was followed by three other orbital flight tests, the last one being launched on June 27, 1982. By April 1984, the Space Shuttle and her crew had flown four test flights and seven cperational mis- sions and had successfully demonstrated the &Lit- ity to rescue and repair damaged spacecraft in orbit as well as perform numerous experiments.
In January 1986 the Challenger accident occurred, grounding the fleet for two and a half years. During this time management, operations,
and hardware changes were niade to enhance research in Earth orb .id preparing the way for Shuttle safety and return to flight. Work began on Space Station, scheduled for deployment from Endeavo~lr in 1987.

SPACE STATION (program under review) Space Station Freedom is the critical stepping stone to the continued exploration of space. Before we journey far beyond the boundaries of Earth, we must uncover the secrets of effectively living and working in the space environment. Space Station will provide the means of learning essential techniques to ensure the health and well being of future space travelers as well as providing the opportunity t:, learn methods of building and maintaining large structures in space.
Many of NASA's recent Shuttle missions serve as precursors to Space Station and preview the potential benefits to be gained from a perma- nent space presence. In January 1992 STS-42, International Microgravity Labcratory 1 mission, carried a U.S. ana internationa; crew, which fore- shadows the international Space Station. Crew members from the United States, as well as Canada arid Europe, conducted experiments on the behavior of materials end living things in weightlessness. In June 1992 STSQO lifted off car- rying the United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML I) . The flight set an all-time Orbiter duration record and demonstrated the knowledge to be gained from exteraed stays. It provided critical information in the areas of fluid dynamics, crystal growth, combustion science, biological science,
and technology demonstration. The April 1992 flight of STS-49, most famous for the dramatic lntelsat satellite rescue, illustrates the need for Space Station. No amount of rehearsal on Earth can replace the experience to be gained by work- ing there.
The Johnson Space Center plays a major role in the development of this country's first per- manent orbiting space station.
The Space Station Projects Office is respon- sible for design and dsvelopment of many of Station's hardware and distributed systems. This includes the station's integrate: truss (or back- bone), resource nodes, airlock, and mobile trans- porter. Distributed systems include the data tnan- agement system (DMS), ihermal control system (TCS), communications and tracking system (C&T), and guidance, navigation and control sys- tem (GN&C). In addition, the Projects Office is responsible for software development and verifi- cation. All of this work is carried out with the sup- port of Engineering, Life Sciences, and Flight Crew Directorates.
The Mission Operations Projects Office is responsible for mission planning and analysis, training, crew operations, flight operations execu- tion, logistics, medical operations, ~ r l d operations facility development.
The Shuttle Program Office is involved in working interfaces between the Shuttle and Space Station while the Flight Crew Office pro- vides input to all aspects of the Program. Another JSC office invoived in the Space Station effort is the Assured Crew Return Vehicle project office. This office is investigating means of rescuing the Station's crew should an emergency develop.
Space Station when complete will measure 353 feet from end to end - the size of a football field with end zones. It will weigh nearly 300 tons - the size of a fully loaded 747 jet - and its solar arrays will gqnerate enough electrical power to run
five earthbound households. Four crew members will live on board for stays of up to two months. They will work 10-hour days conducting life science and microgravity research.
At JSC, the Space Station's development and design is well underway. In fact, develop- ment testing of many of its systems is in progress, and fabrication of flight hardware has begun. In less than a year the program will com- plete its Critical Design Review, a major rnile- stone on the way to First Element Launch (FEL) in March 1996.3

This facili- ty is the sole :!ASA-dedicated Space Shuttle Orbiter TPS test facility, providing Shuttle TPS certifications and life testing, flight-to-flight TPS testing support, and test;.~g to resolve Shuttle TPS anomalies. Specifically, the ARhhSEF pro- vides simulation of the convective heating and pressure flow environment by employins electric heaters that heat air and expand it into o test chamber through supersonic or hypersonic noz- zles to form a test stream. Test specimens of
TPS materials ranging in size from 3 inches in diameter to 2 feet in diameter by 2 feet in heighth can be inserted into the chamber.
THERMOCHEMICAL TEST AREA
The Thermochemical Test Area (TTA), located on 115 acres in the northwest corner of JSC, con- sists of four independent test facilities: the Fluid Systems Test Facility, the Power Systems Test Facility, the Propulsion Test Facility, and the Pyrotechnics Test Facility. In addition, the TTA facilities include laboratories which provide sup- port for electrical and mechanical systems, equip- ment fabrication, chenical analysis, system cleaning and assembly, instrumentation caiibra- ticn, and data acquisition and reduction. The TTA ?as been used since 1964 to provide component and subsystem test support for propulsion and power systems utilized in U.S. manned space programs. The dedicated facilities and support laboratories provide the capability for rapid response in the investigation of rcal-time prob- lems and flight anomalies. A limited number of qualit~cation programs have also been performed for components and subsystems for which con- tractors did not have adequate facilities.
WHITE SANDS TEST FACILITY (WSTF)
WSTF's propulsion test facilities consist of seven versatile test stands (four vacuum and three ambient) adaptable to almost any component, engine, system, or complete stage test up to 25,000 Ibf, snd a test article envelope up to 20 by 20 by 40 feet for vacuum tests. Hypergolic propel- lant storage, distribution, and conditioning capa- bility is available at all test stands. A LOWhydro- gen system is under construction. An instant chemical steam generator provides space vacu- um sim~rlation (>100,000 feet) during engine fir- ings (45-minute capability with the larger engines, 135-minute capability wiih smaller engines). Test stands :ire supported by mcdern data acquisition systems with computerized data processing and computer-con'iroiled tes! operations. At the pre- sent time, Shuttle FRCS, ARCS, and OMS test articles are installed in three of the test stands, and a fourth is undergoing extensive modification to provide long-term test support for the Space Station Freedom Program. The remaining test capability is presan:ly dedicated to a mde variety
of short-duration testing for NASA and other Federal agencies.
Existing laboratory facilities encompass a wide variety of highly sophisticated and unique materials and c~rnponents test capabilities. These include a full spectrum of standard materi- als testing in fuel, oxidizer, and simulated space flight environments; f i i~t ional heating, pal iicle impact, and promoted combustion te~tino iil high- pressure gaseous oxygen; and testing in environ- ments unicllr? to space such as 1. 2rmal vacuum stability testi17g 5otion analysis.
Shuttle Training Aircraft
The Siuttle Training Aircratt (STA) is a twin- engine Grumman Gulfstream II aircraft modified to simulate Orbiter flight characteristics including realist~c motion, visual, and handling qualities. It provides realistic training for astronai!t pilots for the Orbiter final approach phase from 35,000 feet to simulated touchdown including simulated winds, turbulence, and navigation errors that they might experience in an actual ;anding. The STA can fly at altitudes up tc 45,000 feet, at spaeds up to 367 knots, and has a tra~scontinental range. The four STA's are based at tllington Field with training flights in El Paso, Tex:.a; Edwards AFB, Califorl.'a; and the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The Orbiter descent profiles simulations are done primarily at White Sands.
The T-38A is a two-seat, twin turbojet, swept- wing, supersonic aircraft. It is capable of speeds up to Mach 1.2 and has a nominal range of 800 nautical miles. The T-38A is vely maneuverable and fully acvobatic. It is used for astronaut profi- ciency flying and to simulate Space Shuttle Orbiter low lift-to-drag landing approaches. JSC has 30 T-38A's based at Ellington Field.
KC-1 35A The KC-135A, a military version of the four- engine Boeing 707, is the standard U.S. Air Force tanker aircraft used primarily to :t?fuel the Sirategic Air Command bomber fleet. JSC's KC- 135A has been modifisd to permit operations in reduced gravity for NASA research and training. In this aircraft, astronauts and experimenters can
experience up to 30 seconds of weightlessness. Shuttle Carrier Aircraft Pstronauts also fly this aircrafi to-familiarize themselves with heavy aircraft operations in preparaticn for Space Shuttle flights. The KC- 135A is based at Ellington Field.
The Martin WB-57F is a modified 3-57 with larger wings, a bigger tail, and more powerful engines. It is a four-engine, two-seat, high-altitude weather research aircraft capable of flying at sltitudes of 65,000 fee! with a payload capacity of 4,050 pounds, a range of 2,500 nautical miles, and speeds of up to 345 knots. The V'B-57F carries multiple sensors to measurs the atmosphere plus whole air and particulate air samplers. The two WB-57F's still flying are based at Ellington Field.
The G-159 is a Grumman-Gulfstream twin turbo- prop administrative aircraft used to transport management personnei to other centers, contrac- tor work sites, conferences, and NASA Headquarters to support managerial and techni- cai meetizgs. It can carry 12 passengers and has a crew of 3. It has a cruising airspeed of 275 knots, a range of 1,200 nautical miles, and can fly at altit~~des of up to 30,000 feet. NASA has five of these aircraft at various centers and one (NASA 2) is based at Ellington Field.
Super Guppy
The E377SG Aero Spacelines Super Guppy is a low-wing, four-engine turboprop designed for oversized cargo transport. It is an extensive mod- ification of a Bceing C-97J transport. It was pur- chased by 1\1:.3A in A~ r i : 1979, and is based in El Paso. The Guppy c r rises at approximately 190 knots, tias a range of 450 nautical miles with maximum payloads, and normally operates at altitudes below 10,000 feet. The Super Ouppy can carry payloads of up to 41,000 pounds and 21 feet in diameter, and has transported such items as the Hubble Space Telescope, Syncom sdtellites, and Shuttle Centaur components. During the Apollo program, the Guppy was used to transport the S-IVB third stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle. As of 1991, all replacement engines have been used, and additional ones are not available. As a result, the Guppy is no longer in service and will remain in storage at Demir Montham AFB i~ Arizona.
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is a Boeing 747 rnodi- fied with extra stabilizer-tip vertical tail surfaces and external hardpoints for attaching and trans- porting an Orbiter in a piggyback arrangement. It is used to transport Orbiters to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) for laanch after landings at sites other than KSC, and to move them to and from the Fiockwell plant in Falmdale, California, where they are built or significantly modified. NASA has two SCf,s; one stationed at Edwards AFB, California and one at El Paso, Texas. Ll

XI. Economic Impact
XI. Economic Impact on Clear LakeIHouston Economy
I N FISCAL YEAR 1992, NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) continued its 30 year his- tory of providing a major economic stimulus to
Houston, the State of Texas, and the nation through contract and grant awards. JSC also pro- vides a major source of high-tech scientific and engineering, professional, and administrative jobs related to one of America's most exciting and challenging endeavors, the manned space flight program.
NASA is unique among Federal agencies in that over 80 percent of its funding goes to con- tractors, compared with 1 1 percent government- wide. This is a major stimulant for the private aerospace sector of our economy where our nation enjoys a technological competitive edge in the world ecor;omy.
The Johnson Space Center in fiscal year 1992 directly corltributed nearly $1.45 billion to the Houston area economy, or 51 percent of JSC's total budget of $2.8 billion. Ten percent of the total NASA budget directly benefitted the Houston economy. This spending was tor federal salaries, contractor salaries and services, utilities, materials and equipment, and other needed services.
In reality, the economic impact is even high- er than the published numbers would indicate. For exzmple, not estimated is the ecorlomic value of tourism to the Center and multiple sec- ondary effects of JSC spending.
Since its inception in 1962, the Johnson Space Center has received over $47.4 billion in Federal appropriations, which translates to over $128 billion in 1992 dollars. For 1991, JSC spent $1.2 billion in California, $1.2 billion in Texas, and $300 million for c:ontracts and grants in 39 other states. JSC received 20 percent of NASA's total
budget of $14.3 billion in 1992. Over 45 percent of NASA's budget for Space Station Freedom resides at JSC, along with 28 percent of NASA's space shuttle budget. In addition to Texas, California is a major beneficiary of JSC's spend- ing because most of the aerospace production facilities for shuttle and station are located there.
As an indication of the quality of federal jobs created by JSC, the average federal salary at the Center is $51,100. The average age of JSC enployees is 43. Of the 3,644 full time perma- nent JSC employees, 2,869 or 78.7 percent hold bachelor degrees, 922 or 25.3 percent hold mas- ters degrees, and 205 or 5.6 percent hold doctor- ate or equivalent post graduate degrees.
Of the nearly $1.45 billion spent in the Houston area in 1992, $186 million went for fed- eral salaries; $133 million for 1,328 prime con- tractors located on or near site; $9$5 million for 11,600 support contractors; $17 million for utili- ties and communicat~ons; $32 million for con- struction of facilities; and the balance for other goods, services and non-federal salaries. Around $1 1.8 million was spent for g ram and contracts with 17 different colleges and universities within the state of Texas during 1992.
Overall, NASA's FYI 992 budget is less than 1 percent of the total federal budget. JSC's bud- get is 115 of 1 percent. The total 1992 NASA bud- get for space station is less than 115 of 1 percent. This very small national investment supports high tech jobs, education, and critical environmental research; produces medical and life sciences breakthroughs; advances science and technoio- gy; enhances our national competitiveness; and stretches the limits 01 knowledge strout our uni- verse. 0
