003451-Exploring the Unknown-Selected Documents in the History of the US Civil Space Program Vol II-External Relationships 670 Pages 1996 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT This volume is the second in a series that had its origins almost a decade ago. The initial idea for creating a set of reference works that would include documents seminal to the evolution of the U.S. civilian space program came from then-NASA Chief Historian Sylvia K Kraemer. She recognized that while there were substantial primary resources for future historians and others interested in the early years and evolution of the U.S. civilian space program available in many archives, and particularly in the NASA Historical Reference Collection of the History Office at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., this material was widely scattered and contained a mixture of the significant and the routine. It was her sense that it was important to bring together the "best" of this documentary material in a widely accessible form. THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT CD ROM CD ROM Version

003452-Exploring the Unknown-Selected Documents in the History of the US Civil Space Program Volume III-Using Space 626 Pages 1998 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT Each section in this volume is introduced by an overview essay, prepared by individuals particularly well-qualified to write on the topic. In the main, these essays are intended to introduce and complement the documents in the section and to place them in a chronological and/or substantive context. Each essay contains references to the documents in the section it introduces, and many also contain references to documents in other sections of the collection. These introductory essays were the responsibility of their individual authors, and the views and conclusions contained therein do not necessarily represent the opinions of either George Washington University or NASA.

003450-Exploring the Unknown-Selected Documents in the History of the US Civil Space Program Vol I-Organizing for Exploration 820 Pages 1995 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT The documents selected for inclusion in this volume are presented in four major sections, each covering a particular aspect of the evolution of US. space policies and programs. Those sections address: the antecedents to the U.S. space program; the origins of U.S. space policy in the Eisenhower era; the evolution of U.S. space policies and plans; and the organization of the civilian space effort. A second volume of this work will contain documents arranged in four sections addressing specific relations with other organizations: the NASA/industry/university nexus; civil-military space cooperation; international space cooperation; and NASA, commercialization in space, and communications satellites. A third volume will describe programmatic developments: human spaceflight; space science; Earth observation programs; and space transportation.

000865--Exploring the Unknown-Selected Documents in the History of the U.S. Civil Space Program Volume IV-Accessing Space 712 Pages 1999 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT This reality forms the rationale for this series. Precisely because there is so much historical material available on space matters, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) decided in 1988 that it would be extremely useful to have a selective collection of many of the seminal documents related to the evolution of the U.S. civilian space program that was easily available to scholars and the interested public. While recognizing that much space activity has taken place under the sponsorship of the Department of Defense and other national security organizations, within the U.S. private sector, and in other countries around the world, NASA felt that there would be lasting value in a collection of documentary material primarily focused on the evolution of the U.S. government's civil space program, most of which has been carried out since 1958 under the agency's auspices. As a result, the NASA History Office contracted with the Space Policy Institute of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs to prepare such a collection. This is the fourth volume in the documentary history series; two additional ones detailing programmatic developments with respect to space science and human spaceflight will follow.
