K. NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) NASA-TM-X-70154 , 19720601; Jun 1, 1972 A summary of the Apollo flights from AS-201 through Apollo 16 is presented. The following subjects are discussed for each flight: (1) mission primary objectives, (2) principle objectives of the launch vehicle and spacecraft, (3) secondary objectives of the launch vehicle and spacecraft, (4) unusual features of the mission, (5) general information on the spacecraft and launch vehicle, (6) space vehicle and pre-launch data, and (7) recovery data. Accession ID: 74N21516 View PDF File http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/ca...1974013403.pdf ----- Apollo 16 mission anomaly report no. 1: Oxidizer deservicing tank failure NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) NASA-TM-X-68604; MSC-07032 , 19720601; Jun 1, 1972 The command module reaction control system is emptied of all remaining propellant using ground support equipment designed to provide an acid/base neutralization of the propellant in both the liquid and gaseous phases so that it may be disposed of safely. During the deactivation operation of the oxidizer from the Apollo 16 command module on 7 May 1972, the scrubber tank of the decontamination unit exploded, destroying the ground support equipment unit and damaging the building that housed the operation. Only minor injuries were received by the personnel in the area and the command module was not damaged. Test results show that the failure was caused by an insufficient quantity of neutralizer for the quantity of oxidizer. This insufficiency lead to exothermic nitration-type reactions which produced large quantities of gas at a very high rate and failed the decontamination tank.

C. NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) NASA-SP-4203 , 19770101; JAN 1, 1977 Gemini was the intermediate manned space flight program between America's first steps into space with Mercury and the manned lunar expeditions of Apollo. Because of its position between these two other efforts, Gemini is probably less remembered. Still, it more than had its place in man's progress into this new frontier. Gemini accomplishments were manyfold. They included many firsts: first astronaut-controlled maneuvering in space; first rendezvous in space of one spacecraft with another; first docking of one spacecraft with a propulsive stage and use of that stage to transfer man to high altitude; first traverse of man into the earth's radiation belts; first extended manned flights of a week or more in duration; first extended stays of man outside his spacecraft; first controlled reentry and precision landing; and many more. These achievements were significant in ways one cannot truly evaluate even today, but two things stand out: (1) it was the time when America caught up and surpassed the Soviet Union in manned space flight, and (2) these demonstrations of capability were an absolute prerequisite to the phenomenal Apollo accomplishments then yet to come.

NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) NASA-SP-509; S-689; NAS 1.21:509; LC-92-4468 , 19920101; JAN 1, 1992 Space resources must be used to support life on the Moon and in the exploration of Mars. Just as the pioneers applied the tools they brought with them to resources they found along the way rather than trying to haul all their needs over a long supply line, so too must space travelers apply their high technology tools to local resources. This overview describes the findings of a study on the use of space resources in the development of future space activities and defines the necessary research and development that must precede the practical utilization of these resources. Space resources considered included lunar soil, oxygen derived from lunar soil, material retrieved from near-Earth asteroids, abundant sunlight, low gravity, and high vacuum. The study participants analyzed the direct use of these resources, the potential demand for products from them, the techniques for retrieving and processing space resources, the necessary infrastructure, and the economic tradeoffs.

Document ID: 20040052869 http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/ca...2004053033.pdf ----- Human Exploration of Mars: The Reference Mission of the NASA Mars Exploration Study Team Stephen J. Hoffman and David I. Kaplan, editors NASA Johnson Space Center SP-6107 , 7/1/97 The human exploration of Mars will be a complex undertaking. From 1992 through 1994, personnel representing several NASA field centers met to formulate a 'Reference Mission' addressing human exploration of Mars. This report summarizes their work and describes a plan for the first human missions to Mars, using approaches that are technically feasible, have reasonable risks, and have relatively low costs. The architecture for the Mars Reference Mission builds on previous work, principally on the work of the Synthesis Group and Zubrin's concepts for the use of propellants derived from the martian atmosphere. In defining the Reference Mission, choices have been made. In this report, the rationale for each choice is documented; however unanticipated technology advances or political decisions might change the choices in the future. One principal use of the Reference Mission is to lay the basis for comparing different approaches and criteria in order to select better ones. The Reference Mission is not implementable in its present form. It involves assumptions and projections, and it cannot be accomplished without further research, development, and technology demonstrations. It is also not developed in the detail necessary for implementation, which would require a systematic development of requirements through the system engineering process. The primary purpose of this report is to stimulate further thought and development of alternative approaches. http://ston.jsc.nasa.gov/collections...rep/SP6107.pdf Addendum to the Mars Reference Mission: http://ston.jsc.nasa.gov/collections...P-6107-ADD.pdf ----- Rusty
