Since its inception in 1960, the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama has been at the center of the American space program. The Center build the rockets that powered Americans to the moon, developed the propulsion system for the space shuttle, and managed the development of Skylab, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Spacelab. It is one of NASA's most diversified field Centers, with expertise in propulsion, spacecraft engineering, and human systems and multitudinous space sciences. This scholarly study of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center places the institutions in social, political, scientific, and technological context. It traces the evolution of Marshall, located in Huntsville, Alabama, from its origins as an Army missile development organization to its status in 1990 as one of the most diversified of NASA's field Centers. It discusses military rocketry programs in Germany and the United States, Apollo-Saturn, Skylab, Space Shuttle, Spacelab, the Space Station, and scientific and technical projects including the Hubble Space Telescope. It sheds light on the history of space technology, science, and exploration, but also on the Cold War.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As NASA prepared for the launch of Apollo 11 in July 1969, many African American leaders protested the billions of dollars used to fund 'space joyrides' rather than help tackle poverty, inequality, and discrimination at home. This volume examines such tensions as well as the ways in which NASA's goal of space exploration aligned with the cause of racial equality. It provides new insights into the complex relationship between the space program and the civil rights movement in the Jim Crow South and abroad.Essays explore how thousands of jobs created during the space race offered new opportunities for minorities in places like Huntsville, Alabama, while at the same time segregation at NASA's satellite tracking station in South Africa led to that facility's closure. Other topics include black skepticism toward NASA's framing of space exploration as 'for the benefit of all mankind,' NASA's track record in hiring women and minorities, and the efforts of black activists to increase minority access to education that would lead to greater participation in the space program. The volume also addresses how to best find and preserve archival evidence of African American contributions that are missing from narratives of space exploration.NASA and the Long Civil Rights Movement offers important lessons from history as today's activists grapple with the distance between social movements like Black Lives Matter and scientific ambitions such as NASA's mission to Mars.…
