hen Congress created NASA 25 years ago, it directed that the information derivedfrom the agency's pursuit of knowledge through space exploration and aeronautical

research be made available to all Americans.One way of making these research results available has been through a series of scientific

and technical publications. One series, purposely labeled "special," presents materialwhose scope and significance simply outgrew the bounds of customary research reports andjournal articles. In fact, some of the more prestigious Special Publications have exceededthe bounds of pure science and engineering, satisfying as well the interests of a moregeneral audience.The Special Publications produced by NASA since the early 1960's have enjoyed world-wide recognition. They report on the research and development in communications,energy, materials processing, planetology, and astronomy, as well as in aeronautics andaerospace. Man,,, of these publications possess uncommon values that will endure for dec-ades to come. It is appropriate to list them now as a convenient reference of pastaccomplishments on the occasion of NASA's twenty-fifth anniversary.

Prefacehe purpose of this booklet is to list all the Special Publications that NASA has pub-lished since the series began in 1961. The series has included some of NASA's most

ambitious scientific and technical books, and includes a broad range of topics that coversNASA's work in research and development. Since this edition of the list will be publishedduring NASA's twenty-fifth anniversary, a special section has been included which relatesthe Special Publications series to some of NASA's achievements.

Special Publications were created as NASA began to produce information in a formatthat did not quite fit the pattern of technical reports. NASA had caught the public's atten-tion with its beginning steps in space exploration, and needed a vehicle that presented atotal picture to those outside particular areas of expertise. There were many subjects that anincreasingly educated public wanted to know about. They found a niche in the SpecialPublications series.

The Special Publications series bloomed with mission reports, aerodynamic treatises,structural analyses, planetary atlases, conference proceedings, and extensive reference

F material. By the midseventies, it became obvious that the latter two needed separate series,T- _ and so Conference Publications and Reference Publications were created. All are listedhere.

When particular books were being created, it was obvious that the)' would be best sellers.Sure enough, Exploring Space wzth a Camera, which gave the public an early look at theEarth photographed from space, sold 124,000 copies before it was allowed to go out ofprint. Photographic techniques were improving, and the images in later books were farbetter. Along came Tht) Island Earth; it is 12 years old and is still selling well (71,000copies). Apollo Expediltons To The Moon has sold 46,000 copies. Still moving quickly off

_: !,., ,., the bookstore shelves are Mission to Earth: Landsat Views the World, the Skylab series, The-' Martian Landscape, Voyage toJupiter, and Voyages to Saturn. There were some surprises,however; who would have forseen the success of such unassuming titles as Clart?y in Tech-nical Reporting or Soldertng Electrtcal Connecttbns?

Although the books with space imagery sell best, other Special Publications are of wideinterest for either the scientist or the educated public, and these are also printed and soldthrough the Government Printing Office. Some of the technical subjects are presentedwith the layperson in mind, while others are deemed classics for reference in particulardisciplines. Still others, just as important, but not generating interest outside a narrow area

r-- - v- "" of expertise, are printed and made available from the National Technical InformationService. Photocopies of books no longer available through GPO are also available at NTIS.a,, A_ A In the list of publications that follows, a brief description is given together with the origi-nal sales source and the publication date. The prices are not listed because the)' change.Phone or write GPO or NTIS for prices of publications that interest you. GPO will want toknow the NASA SP number; NTIS will want to know the seven-digit NASA accessionnumber. When you find an attractive title, take care to notice the date of publication.Many books are out of date, and are of historical value only. For example some books onMars predate the 1976 Viking mission.

1k7 12 I[." This account of the growth of Special Publications does not tell of the work and worrythat go into the research, writing, and production of books. But as you look through thelist and find titles that interest you, think of the curiosity and diligence that result in ad-vances in science and technology and the subsequent effort and care that produce therecord.

Since thts edittbn of the Special Pubkcattom catalog tS being pubk_,hed dunng NASA'stwenty-fifth anniversa_,, we are using the occaslbn to include a short narrative o/some ofNASA's achlovements.

It was 2:55 a.m., October 11, 1958. The 88-foot-tall Thor rocket, a giant for its time but to bedwarfed by rockets not yet even planned, glowed insearchlight bril liance. Battens of fog crawled around

Administration, brought into being just 11 daysearlier, the sight of the 50-ton Thor disappearingtoward the inky dark of space was soul-stirring. Andit was a critical first step for the new agency on theroad to space exploration.

The bad news came 16 hours later. Thor'sengines had not delivered full power. Pioneer 1

climbed to 71,000 miles, then fell back towardEarth. It would have been ftrst to the Moon. Evenso, NASA's inaugural flight was far from being afailure. No other satellite had ventured so far fromEarth. Pioneer's instruments radioed back the firstradiation measurements from trans-lunar space.The flight blazed the way for later communicationssatellites by relaying radio messages betweencontinents. In a single mission, NASA had boldlyadvanced along the learning curve that would leadto U.S. dominance in space.

"... 3, 2, 1, Liftoff! We have a liftom"The words echo through the years. Lifioff. Thatultimate moment of truth, accompanied by the

farmliar rue and roar of rocket engines and thehopes of a nation embarked on the exploration anduse of outer space, has come hundreds of timessince the Space Age dawned. It has marked the sep-aration point in mission after mission, sendinghuman and machine alike beyond the limits of thehome planet.The space accomplishments of a quarter century

are stunning. Instrument-laden spacecraft havevisited the six closest planets. Men have walked onthe Moon, returning pieces of it to Earth forscientif ic study. Scores of satell ites ci rcle the globe,serving humanity in ways that now axe routine, orrevealing new knowledge about the cosmos and ourown planet through cameras and sensors. Moreimportant, men and women are carried routinelyinto orbit aboard a reusable space ship, exploitingthe unique weightless environment for the benefitof all .

Yet just 25 years ago, it seemed all a dream.In [ate July 1958, nearly 10 months after the

Soviet Union stunned the world by orbitingSputnik 1, the first manmade satellite, and sixmonths after the United States joined the rush tospace by rocketing Explorer 1 into orbit, PresidentDwight D. Eisenhower put his signature to PublicLaw 85-568, the National Aeronautics and SpaceAct of 1958. It was the end to months of nationaldebate over how the United States should meet the.scient ific and technical challenge of explor ing outerspace. And it was a beginning.

The Space Act created the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration on October 1, 1958. Thenew agency incorporated the aeronautical researchactivities of the National Advisory Committee onAeronautics (NACA), and shouldered the fullburden of non-milita D' research, exploration, andconquest of space. In its first 25 years, marked bythe early frustrations of failure and the later ex-hilaration of success, NASA carried out an incredi-ble series of projects that opened the solar systemfor humankind.

The complete histories of many of those projectsare told in a variety of NASA publications, in-

Ptoneer IV

eluding several full-length books. These SpecialPublications (SPs) are available from the U.S.Government Printing Office book stores and inmany l ibraries. (See the Preface for further informa-tion.) Other series mentioned here are ReferencePublications (RPs) and Conference Publications(CPs). Two publications provide excellent overviewsof the move from one small planet into the realm ofspace. This Island Earth (NASA SP-250) looks atthe initial impact of space travel and Beyond theAtmosphere (NASA SP-4211) chronicles the earlyyears of space science.

In the beginning, it was enough to send a smallsatellite, carrying just a few instruments, into theweightless vacuum above. But the complexity ofrockets, even in 1958, left little margin for error.With that burden, the young NASA immediatelyassumed responsibility for its first launch, takingover Thor and Pioneer from their Air Forcedevelopers.

From that beginning, NASA coordinated its ven-tures into the new frontier. Some spacecraft wouldorbit the Earth. Others would explore the Moonand the planets. And in the most publicized effortof all, ships and rockets would carD,man into space.Each piece of the overall program was separate: yeteach fed new knowledge into the other and eachlearned from the other's successes and failures.

NASA quickly took control of a network offormer NACA research fa.cilities -- Langley inVirginia, Ames in California, Lewis in Ohio -- thatwould move to the forefront in research andplanetary satellite technology. Contract work withCalifornia's Jet Propulsion LaboratoD' expanded.NASA acquired a site in Maryland for communica-tions and data processing, tracking, and satellitedevelopment: the Goddard Space Flight Center.Much of the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Alabama

became the Marshall Space Flight Cemcr, tonterl-trating on rocketry. Facilities n_v,, called Dryden inCalifornia and Wallops in Virginia were also in-cluded under NASA At Cape Canaveral, NASAused Air Force facilities until it could bui ld a launchcomplex that would become the Kennedy SpaceCenter. And it built a new Manned SpacecraftCenter (now Johnson Space Center) near Houston.

Even as NASA was being organized, teams weredeveloping a plan to put one man alone into a t iny,bell-shaped spacecraft and orbit him around theEarth. This was Project Mercury, and for the times,it was at once courageous, ambitious, confident,and frightening.

In 1959, after an exhaustive search, NASAselected seven military test pilots to become spacetravelers for Project Mercury. They became knownas the Original Seven: Scott Carpenter, GordonCooper, John Glenn, Virgil Grissom, AlanShepard, Walter Schirra, and Donald Slayton.Because no one knew what rigors or dangers ahuman being would face from zero gravity, radia-tion, or the still-unknown secrets of orbital flight,their t raining was intense. At the same time, theMercury spacecraft was developed. For early flighttests NASA selected the small Redstone rocket, anddecided that the primary rocket for orbital flightswould be the Atlas missile.

By early 1961, chimpanzees had flown in place ofastronauts to verif 3' that the Mercury spacecraftworked as planned. But the crucial decision to fly aman was still debated. It was left to President JohnKennedy to weigh the risks. As arguments raged,the Soviet Union did it again; an unknowncosmonaut named Yuri Gargarin was rocketedaloft, orbited the Earth a single t ime, and returnedto a hero's welcome. Within a week, Kennedycalled a White House meeting and heard thearguments one last time. Then he nodded ap-proval.

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard was secured intothe cramped spacecraft, Freedom 7. The small Red-stone rocket ignited and he was hurled aloft on a

15-minute suborbital test flight over the AtlanticOcean. Shepard cruised through the edge of spaceand splashed down safely in the Atlantic Ocean Itwas a brief flight, but it paved the way for othersand it gave America its first man in space.

Almost before Shepard could dry off, NASAleaders were drafting a 30-page document for Presi-dent Kennedy It urged a bold stroke in space tohelp propel American technology forward on manyfronts On May 25, 1961, Kennedy stood before ajoint session of Congress to recommend the mostdramatic project yet undertaken by humankind.

"I believe that this nation should commit itseffto achieving the goal, before this decade is out, oflanding a man on the Moon and returning himsafely to the Earth," Kennedy told the startledCongress.

But first there was Project Mercury to completeJohn Glenn entered the history, books by orbitingthe Earth three times in his Friendship 7 inFebruary 1962. In the next 15 months, the otherastronauts followed, except Slayton, who wasgrounded because of a heart murmur. Each flightadvanced NASA's knowledge of the space environ-ment and taught us how better to survive in orbitThe final mission, with Gordon Cooper aboard,lasted a then-incredible 34 hours and 20 minutes --22 times around the world?

For an inside view of America's first triumphantspace program, see This New Ocean (NASA

'iSP-4201), a thorough and engaging histo_, of Proj-ect Mercury. The ocean of the void was giving up itssecrets. America was in space to stay.

By now, the Moon program had a name: Apollo.But it would be years before the goal could be at-tempted. With talented teams of industry contrac-tors and growing numbers of NASA personnel aim-ing for the Moon, another effor_ was needed.NASA proposed a two-man spacecraft to orbit theEarth. It would perform extended missions, proveout the techniques of maneuvering in space andrendezvousing with another craft, and test the en-

durance of men against the still undefined hazardsof space travel. With President Lyndon Johnson'sfull backing, Congress approved the Gemini Pro-gram.It was a success. During a period of 16 months

NASA used the larger Titan rocket to hurl a dozenGemini craft into space. Ten spacecraft car ried two-man astronaut crews, and their exploits left theworld enthralled. On Gemini 4, Edward Whitewalked in space. Gemini 6 and 7 flew the first spacerendezvous, and Gemini 7 spent almost 14 days inorbit. Geminis 8 through 12 rendezvoused anddocked with target vehicles launched earlier. Thephotos these ast ronauts brought home showed agleaming and beautiful Earth, and revealed terrainfeatures not seen before. Many can be seen in EarthPbotograp/_s From Gemtm Ill, IV, and V (NASASP-129), and the Gemini story is covered in On theShoulders oj Titans (NASA SP-4203).

As Gemini began, flew, and ended, the ApolloProgram also moved steadi ly ahead. The Moonwould be challenged with two spacecraft, a com-mand module carrying three astronauts, two ofwhom would land on the Moon in a lunar module.They would return to rendezvous in lunar orbitwith the waiting third crewman. But first, a series oftest flights in Earth orbit were planned.Then tragedy struck During a launch pad test inJanuary 1967, fire destroyed the Apollo 1 spacecraftand asphyxiated astronauts Virgil Grissom, EdwardWhite, and Roger Chaffee. In the months thatfollowed, Apollo underwent intense scrutiny andmodification. The spacecraft was totally fireproofedand the lessons of flammability have since been ap-plied in a wide variety of other fields.

In the meantime, NASA completed constructionof its launching facility in Florida. (Moonport(NASA SP-4202) tells the story of how this massivejob was carried out.)

But without giant rockets, Apollo could not suc-ceed. Through the mid-sixties, Marshall SpaceFlight Center designed and tested the Saturnrockets that would send Apollo to the Moon. Whenthe first Saturn V rocket -- the largest in the world-- was launched with an unmanned payload, theground shook three miles away. So great was thepower of this enormous rocket that watchers felt itrumble through thek feet before they heard itscrackling roar. Developed under the leadership ofWernher von Braun, the rocket performed flaw-lessly. It was November 9, 1967. How this launchvehicle, with 8.9 million pounds of thrust, was con-ceived and built is told in Stages of Saturn (NASASP-4206).

in Autumn 1968, the Apollo 7 mission testedthe command module with a three-man crew inEarth orbit. Then in December, in a daring missionto put Americans first around the Moon, Apollo 8crossed the long miles toward Earth's nearest

Thephotos they returned changed our view of theEarth: we realized it is delicate. On Christmas Eve,Apollo 8 disappeared behind the Moon and thewor ld wai ted tensely.

"Houston, be advised. There is a Santa Claus!"The words came from Astronaut James Lovell asApollo 8 climbed above the lunar horizon and re-established contact with Earth. For the fust time,representatives of the human race were orbiting theMoon.Less than seven months

was being laid for a reusable Space Shuttle. Itwould take a decade to bring such a complex shipto operational status.

Three Skylab missions kept astronaut crews in anorbiting space laboratoD' for prolonged flights in1973 and 1974. In these missions, NASA demon-strated that humans could survive and lead active,healthy, and useful lives during prolonged spaceflight. The science results of Skylab surpassed allexpectations. Using a special solar telescope,astronauts studied the Sun and recorded vital newdata about its activity and how it affects Earth. Theyused a sophisticated camera and other sensors to

tions and years of preparation. Astronauts flying anApollo command module joined up with cosmo-nauts in a S oyuz craft not only to meet in space, butto work together. Among the Americans wasDonald Slayton, his heart murmur gone and at lastable to join his fellows in outer space. This missionis the subiect of The PartnerJhap (NASA SP4209),an account of the triumph of human endeavorbeyond the edge of the Earth. In another joint ef-fort, the two countries collaborated on a three-volume study of space medicine, published asf_?_undat*ons of Space Biology and Medtcine (NASASP-374).

As complex and sophisticated spacecraft ex-tended our knowledge of the solar system, NASApressed forward with development of the SpaceTransportation System and its focal point, theSpace Shuttle. The Shuttle endured a series oftechnical delays as unforeseen problems were re-solved before flying into orbit in 1981. By the endof 1982, the Shuttle was declared operat ional and anew era of space flight, with men and womenroutinely going into orbit, began. The Shuttle atWork (NASA SP-432) tells the preliminary story ofthis craft and outlines its missions for the comingdecade.

While astronauts explored the space close toEarth and walked on the Moon, other NASA shipstrekked among the planets. The first steps tookautomated spacecraft to the Moon. NASA and in-dust_' experts used the Ranger program in the earlyand mid-sixties to solve the difficult engineeringand navigational problems of reaching a distantbody. One after another, camera-carrying Rangersplunged toward the lunar surface, radioing startlingcloseup photographs of the plains and craters beforeimpacting. Then in a crucial precursor to sendingmen to the Moon, Surveyor craft landed theregently, proving that the lunar terrain was solid andstable. As NASA grew more experienced and confi-dent, the planets themselves beckoned and the ex-ploration became more complex and bold.

An unbroken series of successes put Pioneerspacecraft managed by Ames Research Center intofar-distant space where they studied the Sun, thesolar winds, and radiomagnetic phenomena.Mariner spacecraft designed and built at the JetPropulsion Laboratory flew past Venus and Mer-cury, offering an excited world doseup views of theinnermost planets. Other Mariners crossed to Mars,precisely fired thek engines, and went into orbit.

The lure of Mars captured public and scientificattention. In twin missions, each having an orbiterand a lander, Viking spacecraft were preciselynavigated to Mars. The fast of them landed on July20, 1976 -- just weeks after America' s 200th bi rth-day. As word reached JPL that the Viking 1 Landerwas safely down (and the Orbiter operating from The 5pace Shuttle

X'V

i--A Above), emotions erupted and scientists, news peo-ple, and hundreds of watcbers burst into long, loudcheers Even veteran space reporters wiped awaytears.

From widely separate landing zones, the twoViking Landers provided earthlings with their firston-the-ground look at our neighbor. Camerasshowed a rock-strewn terrain, rusty red just as itshould be, and a pinkish sky. Samples of martiansoil were quickly scooped up and analyzed. In onesmall part of Viking Lander, a one-cubic foot unitanalyzed the soil for signs of life. That little package-- a marvel of engineering that contained minia-turized instruments that would fill a laboratory onEarth -- may be the most sophisticated piece ofscientific gear yet devised. But it found no life.

Still, Viking offered an exhaustive look at Mars,rewriting the science books with its findings. TheMartzan Landscape (NASA SP--425) contains asuperb account of the Viking mission and hundredsof photos. And from Mars, data continued to flowtoward Earth from two Viking Orbiters and twoViking Landets until the last of the four quit in late1982.

More than two years before Viking reached Mars,two Pioneer spacecraft, launched a year apart, flewpast Jupiter. Again the yield of these scientific ex-plorers was astonishing. Color images of Jupiter ap-peared on control room screens, showing roilingbands of multi-colored clouds and strange spots andswirls racing through the jovian atmosphere. TheGreat Red Spot appeared and scientists at last had acloseup look at this curious and unique phenom-enon.

Again, astronomers were obliged to rewrite thetexts. As they studied the Pioneer data radioedfrom Jupiter, the spacecraft continued m chattertheir messages of scientific discovery. Pioneer 10,passing Jupiter in late 1973, continued outboundtoward the stars to leave the solar system in June1983. Pioneer 11 had a different mission. LeavingJupiter behind in December 1974, it began a five-year journey to its next goal: Saturn!

Pioneer 11 entered the saturnian system in earlySeptember 1979. In another of the seeminglyunending string of "firsts," the spacecraft's imag-ing system gave Earth a closeup look at Saturn'sfabled rings and its banded cloud patterns.Observers quickly saw that a never-before-men ring-- the F Ring -- girdled Saturn, and that itsbroader rings actually had many components.Perhaps most important, Pioneer 11 crossedthrough the ring plane, not once, but twice. In-deed, a ship could survive that journey withoutdest ruction by high-velocity dust partkles or chunksof ice or rock, even though Pioneer barely missedone of Saturn's moons during the crossing.

The travels of the two Pioneers to the largest ofthe outer planets brought new understanding of

how the solar system is formed. Scenes impossibleto view through terrestrial telescopes leaped ontoscreens with clarity. Instruments recorded new dataon interplanetary' magnetic tortes, radiat ion, andeven weather. For a detailed look at the color anddrama of the ftrst visit to Jupiter and Saturn, seePioneer: Ftrst to Jup:ter, 3alurn. an,r Beyond(NASA SP-446).

Planetary exploration indeed came into fullflower in the most recent years. Still another pair ofPioneer-class spacecraft headed for Venus. One shiplaunched probes that descended to the inferno ofthe Venusian surface. Thought by early scholars tobe a watery' planet, Venus was fully revealed to be aparched furnace, its landscape dry' and hot beneaththe crushing weight of an atmosphere more than 90ttmes as dense as Earth's. The first craft still orbitsVenus, where its instruments continue to study thesurface below. Among the significant f indings thatPioneer radioed back to Earth are data about thegreenhouse effect that traps heat within a planet'satmosphere. That information may have vital sig-nificance for the future of Earth itself. The Venus

missions are detailed in Pioneer Venus (NASASP-461 ) .As the histories of the planets are written, no

rmssions have greater fascination than Voyager --two advanced and multi-talented ships that cruisedthe lanes of space to Jupiter, and then to Saturn.Their discoveries left scientists breathless. Withtheir high-resolution cameras and other instru-ments, Voyager ships looked closely at far-awaymoons. They photographed volcanoes spewingsulfurous vapor on Io, saw cracked-ice seas onCallisto, and studied the opaque haze and douds ofTitan. They found a hitherto unsuspected ringaround Jupiter and revealed that Saturn's rings arenot a few, but thousands of glimmering bandscomposed of icy chunks and embedded moonlets.

Voyager 2 sails onward to view yet anotherplanet, Uranus, in 1986. And a final leg to Nep-tune, to be reached in 1989, is a strong possibility.

The Voyager journeys past Jupiter and Saturn arechronicled in NASA SP-439 and SP_51.

So much has been accomplished in just 25 years.The sheer spectacle of humans in space and thesplendor of discoveries on other worlds might havebeen enough. Though such missions received over-whelming public attention, NASA made equallyimportant strides in practical, scient ific, and observ-atory spacecraf t that remained in Earth-orbit.

The agency developed the technology for com-munications and weather satellites that are nowcommonplace in our daily lives. Dozens werelaunched as inventive NASA and industry designersimproved their art and gave the world new and im-portant benefits. And when the lessons were learnedand the technology secure, NASA turned over thefuture to other agencies and to private industry.Communicat ions satel lites alone represent a multi-billion-dollar business today that began withNASA's pioneering thrusts.

The Earth itself has yielded secrets to NASAspacecraft. Landsats turned their sensitive camerasand instruments groundward to reveal mineraldeposits, track the growth of crops and forest,monitor snowfall and water resources, and muchmore. With its multi.spectral cameras, detailsemerge that could not be seen with the naked eye.Mt)ston to Earth: Landsat Vwws the World (NASASP-360) contains hundreds of photographs thatproved invaluable -- just a s ampling of the imagerythat has aided in discovering more about our ownworld and in managing our resources.

Other craft provided new knowledge for all thesciences. Solar observatories studied the Sun.Ast ronomical observatories scanned the heavens.Instrument-laden ships aimed their sensors at ouratmosphere and the near-space regions. The High-Energy Astronomical Observatory (HEAO) space-craft brought new unders tanding to how stars areformed and how the universe is aging. Star Splitters(NASA SP--466) describes the three HEAO mis-sions.

MI these missions and more were conceived andcarried out as NASA followed its 1958 charter inspace. But that charter also carried responsibilitieson Earth. In aviation and aeronautics, NASA con-tinued to expand understanding and technology.Key technological advances included the sweptwing, the area-ruled fuselage, and the supercriticalwing, and advances were made in propulsion, com-puters, and electronics.

Wind Tunnels of NASA (NASA SP-440) looksat the state-of-the-art work done in supersonic craft,in improving commercial aviation, and in develop-ing innovative new flying machines. Fuel Economym Aviation (NASA SP--462) looks at the practicalresults of NASA research aimed at making generalaviation aircraft more efficient. And SmallTransport Atrcraft Technology (NASA SP_460)covers the most recent advances in that field.

As it pursued developments in aeronautics,NASA looked extensively at aircraft instrumenta-tion and the problems inherent in determiningtheir accuracy. Measurements of Aircraft Speed andAlmude (NASA RP-I046) is a fine technicalevaluation of a variety of such instruments and in-cludes tables for present airspeed and altitude, andsample calculations useful in practical appl ications.

Another aeronautical report covers methods forestimating a variety of factors in aircraft design, in-cluding size, weight, and power, h is Subsomc Air-

craJ9 (NASA RP-1060) and includes aspects of aero-nautical evolution from 1918 to the present.

NASA engineering expertise also paid off in theenergy field. In a joint project with the Departmentof Energy, NASA developed new and efficientwind turbines to generate electricit 3 ,without burn-ing scarce oil. Captunng Energy from the l_'ind(NASA SP-455) covers the program that brought

NASA research had practical appl ication to a varier),of ordinary fields. So/derrng Electrical Connecttons(NASA SP-5002) is a widely used book describingtechniques for manufacturing and repak. OtherNASA publications describe methods of nonde-structive testing, advanced photography, use of fuelcells, advanced medical applicat ions, and applica-t ions for lasers.But in a high-technology environment, NASA's

efforts have far more impact and make greater con-tribut ions to increasing technical knowledge andskills. Magnettc Tape Recording for the Etghttes(NASA RP-1075) is valuable guide to the practicaland theoretical aspects of state-of-the-art recordingtechnology. Hand/rag Hazardous/d_ateri, z/s (NASASP-5032) is devoted to methods for safely storingand using a variety of substances, primarily used asrocket fuels, but also found in many industrial ap-plications.

In developing machines to survive in space,NASA moved deeply into the area of newmaterials, advancing the state of that field intopreviously unknown regions. Advanced _lateria/sTechnology (NASA CP-2251) is the proceedings ofa conference dedicated to transfer ring informationto the commercial world and covers such materialsas composites, polymers, ceramics, and metallics, aswel l as nondest ructive testing, fracture and fat igue,and much more

To learn more about Earth and its environment,NASA has pursued pertinent research along abroad f ront.

Another conference isreported in Technical Commumcation : Perspectivesfor the Elghtws (NASA CP-2203) and contains im-portant recommendations for both researchers andtechnical writers.

Scores of other publications are available, cover-ing the many and diverse aspects of NASA-sponsored research and development. Among thosewith broad interest are Capacitor Technologws: Ap-phcat ions and Rehabdlty (NASA CP-2186), Fun-damenta/ Heat Transfer Research for Gas TurtaneEngines (NASA CP-2178), Atmospheric Effectsand Potential Chmatw Impact of the 1980 Erup-tions of Mount St. Helens (NASA CP-2240), andAtrport/ Commumty &blire (NASA CP-2241 ).

It hardly seems that 25 years have passed sincethe National Aeronautics and Space Administration

But the vastness of space still waits. The questingmind still wonders. The human spirit still looksourward. Much remains to be done.
