    The NASA Space Processing Program (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The program is intended to initiate utilization of spaceflight for economically beneficial activities in all branches of materials science and technology. In view of the prospect they offer for reducing the costs of space operations, the Spacelab and Space Shuttle are expected to become widely used for work on materials early in the 1980's. At first they will be employed for space experiments and for services, such as sample preparation, that support research and development activities on the ground. Orbital manufacturing operations are expected to develop as well when research has prepared an adequate basis for them. During the past year, NASA has initiated a series of rocket flights on which prospective participants in the Shuttle/Spacelab program can perform preliminary experiments. Participation in these flights is open to investigators from all countries, and experiments are being solicited from private sponsors also. NASA is performing concurrent definition studies of Shuttle/Spacelab payloads, and design work on equipment for the first two years of operations is planned to begin early in 1977. The Office of Applications currently plans to fly two space processing payloads on Orbital Flight Test missions in 1980 and two on operational Spacelab missions in 1981.

    The next 25 years: Industrialization of space: Rationale for planning (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The goals of NASA's space industralization program include contributing to increased productivity on earth without taxing the environment, generating new values through extraterrestrial productivity, and providing new growth options for the future which include the permanent settlement of space and long-range colonization and exploration projects. In planning the long-range space program based on essentially utilitarian aspects, without losing sight of the more humanistically significant long term, and to forecast associated technology requirements, a realistic approach is obtained by combining extrapolative and normative planning modes so that common stepping stones can be identified. In the extrapolative view, alternative futures are projected on the basis of past and current trends and tendencies. In the normative view, some ideal state in the far future is envisioned or postulated, and policies and decisions are directed toward its attainment.

    NASA philosophy concerning space stations as operations centers for construction and maintenance of large orbiting energy systems (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: Future United States plans for manned space-flight activities are summarized, emphasizing the long-term goals of achieving permanent occupancy and limited self-sufficiency in space. NASA-sponsored studies of earth-orbiting Space Station concepts are reviewed along with lessons learned from the Skylab missions. Descriptions are presented of the Space Transportation System, the Space Construction Base, and the concept of space industrialization (the processing and manufacturing of goods in space). Future plans for communications satellites, solar-power satellites, terrestrial observations from space stations, and manned orbital-transfer vehicles are discussed.

    Principles and methods for future low-cost planetary exploration (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: This paper describes the approach that NASA will use to obtain the mandatory science results with a minimum expenditure of resources for the new thrusts which will be initiated. The specific projects that will be described to illustrate the planned utilization of standardized hardware and software are the Outer Planet Orbiter/Probe (Jupiter) and the Terrestrial Bodies Orbiter (Lunar) missions. This paper describes the coupling between these missions and future missions to a variety of bodies in the solar system and the benefits to be derived by developing a design that will accommodate future missions as opposed to optimized designs for each individual mission.

    Engineering support for the Space Processing Application Rocket /SPAR/ project - Preparation for effective Shuttle utilization (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: Sounding rockets are being used in the Space Processing Program to develop the scientific, engineering, and management expertise to effectively use the Shuttle. An extensive vehicle selection study was necessary to optimize the payload weight, cost factors, and low-g time. The vehicle and subsystem development for each of the flight vehicles is described along with analyses and programmatic considerations peculiar to the Space Processing Program. Several early Space Processing payloads are described along with available flight results.

    Building large structures in space (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The building of large structures in space would be required for the establishment of a variety of systems needed for different forms of space utilization. The problems involved in the building of such structures in space and the approaches which can be used to solve these problems are illustrated with the aid of an example involving a concept for packaging, transporting, and assembling two representative large space structures. The structure of a radio-astronomy telescope 200 m in diam was felt to be representative of the many medium-size structures of the Shuttle era. A typical very large structure is represented by the supporting structure for the transmission system of a 5000-Mw space solar power station.

    Review of NASA activities in materials sciences in space (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: In the year since the 18th Plenary Meeting of COSPAR, NASA has conducted eight materials processing experiments on the Apollo-Soyuz mission and 17 on two rocket flights. In addition, these three missions have implemented one Soviet and three German experiments. The Apollo-Soyuz results have confirmed and extended the findings of the Skylab experiments on solidification and crystal growth effects and have also established capabilities for separating living cells by electrophoresis and returning them still living to earth. The rocket missions provide repetitive flight opportunities much as the Space Shuttle will do, and they are being used to develop research approaches in which investigators will undertake projects calling for multiple space experiments rather than proposing experiments individually. During the year, NASA has also completed definition work on the major payload facilities planned for its initial materials processing experiment program on the Space Shuttle and Spacelab missions of 1980-81.
