Space research impact on national economy and industry, communications, education, and science and technology - conference on peaceful uses of space
Theoretical biology conference on cell synthesis and ecology
Rayleigh and Mie scattering, passive microwave radiometry, and linear and nonlinear inversion methods for inferring atmospheric thermal structure from satellite observations
These technical papers were prepared for presentation at the Conference on Design of Leak-tight Fluid Connectors sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers and NASA/George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. This conference was planned to promote the direct exchange of technical information concerning separable, semipermanent and permanent leak-tight fluid connectors for space vehicle use. A conference emphasizing design of separable connectors was previously held on March 24 and 25, 1964. The papers represent a cross section of significant topics on design, testing and instrumentation. This exchange of technical information between government agencies and private industry is certain to benefit the nation's space effort and other fields of technology. The sponsors of the conference extend their thanks to all companies and individuals who have contributed toward this meeting.
Observations of Moon, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter - surface features and atmospheric characteristics - radio, radar, telescopic, and spectroscopic observations
Although the lunar landing and exploration effort will continue for some time to absorb a large part of the total space exploration effort, attention is now being focused on the possibilities of exploration of the near earth planets, Mars and Venus. While astronomical observations of these planets has been going on for considerable time, recent years have seen an increase in this activity. One Venus "Fly-By" has been accomplished and the success of Mariner IV gives evidence that this means of observation is practical and undoubtedly will continue. The problems of manned and unmanned exploration of these planets have occupied the attention of a number of scientists and engineers engaged in the space effort. The papers presented at the conference discussed the characteristics of the planets and their atmospheres and the problems inherent in their exploration. The topics included information, speculation and future planning based on the best opinions of experts in the field. It was the aim of the conference to furnish participants from educational institutions, private industry, research laboratories and governmental agencies knowledge of this next step in space exploration. For the educators, perhaps new information for instruction and new avenues of research were the greatest dividends to be expected. In giving the other participants an opportunity to hear the leaders in the field and discuss their own problems, it is hoped that the Conference made a significant contribution to the space exploration effort.
High temperature instrumentation for liquid metal experiments on heat transfer, void fraction, and forced convection boiling - conference
Experimenters conference on Apollo Applications Program in biological sciences
Conference on active temperature control for spacecraft - thermal radiation
Seminar on space flight and guidance theory, with special attention to mathematical solutions of system stability
The Working Group on Extraterrestrial Resources is composed of people from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U. S. Air Force, the U. S. Navy, Office of Engineers of the U. S. Army, U S. Geological Survey, the Department of Agriculture, and the Rand Corporation. It was organized for the following function: "To evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of the employment of extraterrestrial resources with the objective of reducing dependence of lunar and planetary exploration on terrestrial supplies; to advise cognizant agencies on requirements pertinent to these objectives, and to point out the implications affecting these goals. "
To provide a better opportunity, therefore, for the aerospace mechanisms designer to compare and correlate the specific knowledge gained from a wide variety of important mechanism design efforts, the First Aerospace Mechanisms Symposium was held on 19-20 May 1966. This Symposium, dealing exclusively with aerospace mechanism design and development, was sponsored by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology, Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, and the University of Santa Clara. The first aerospace symposium with such broad sponsorship, is supplied the first forum for an extensive discussion in depth of ideas, problems, and accomplishments regarding aerospace mechanisms. It stressed the practical aspects, with emphasis on actual flight test data and correlation with analytical predictions. This volume presents the papers offered at the Symposium in order to provide the aerospace mechanisms designer with a useful source of ideas and information and to serve as a stimulant to the continuance of a periodic professional interchange in the field of aerospace mechanisms.
Thermal metal joint conductance - conductive heat transfer measuring apparatus, and interface conductance values for aluminum, magnesium, steel, molybdenum, copper, and mixed metal joints
The subjects most actively discussed informally at the 1964 meeting included progress reports on solar simulators which have been completed or are planned or under construction. Need for radiometric standards and the possible need for further solar data were also discussed.
