Seller's Description:
Very good. xxiii, [1], 1050, [2] pages. Illustrations. Figures. Tables. Notes on Sources. Index. Judith A. Rumerman is a professional technical writer who has written or contributed to numerous documents for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. She has written documents describing various spaceflight programs, in-house procedures used at Goddard Space Flight Center, and various materials used for training. She was also the compiler of U.S. Human Spaceflight: A Record of Achievement, 1961--1998, a monograph for the NASA History Office detailing NASA's human spaceflight missions, and volumes five, six and sever of the NASA Historical Data Book, 1979--1988. In the years preceding the 2003 Centennial of Flight, Ms. Rumerman served as technical lead and prime author of the series of essays written for the Centennial of Flight Commission describing all aspects of aviation and spaceflight. Ms. Rumerman has degrees from the University of Michigan and George Washington University. The NASA History Program was first established in 1959 (a year after NASA itself was formed) and has continued to document and preserve the agency's remarkable history through a variety of products. Dr. Roger D. Launius, former NASA Chief Historian, wrote an excellent historiographic article about the history of the NASA History Division itself. The NASA History Division serves two key functions: fulfilling the mandate of the 1958 "Space Act" calling for NASA to disseminate aerospace information as widely as possible, and helping NASA managers understand and thus benefit from the study of past accomplishment and difficulties. Thus, in addition to serving internal NASA customers, the NASA History Program is of great interest to a wide panoply of outside citizens who follow aerospace activities such as scholars, journalists, and students. While most of the NASA History Division products are scholarly in nature, they are also largely accessible to interested broader audiences. Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. The tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats.
