| Robert P. Hogan Collection, 1969-1997 |
The Robert P. Hogan Collection includes project proposals, technical documents, reports, correspondence, publications, photographs, and other visual media documenting Hogan's contributions to the Pioneer Project and the Life Sciences Directorate during his career at the NASA Ames Research Center. The collection is chronologically arranged in two series that reflect these two phases of Hogan's engineering and administrative activities. |
| Robert W. Jackson Collection, 1964-1999 |
This collection consists of materials that document four NASA space programs during the years 1967 to 1988: Biosatellite, Magellan, Pioneer and Voyager. The materials were collected by Robert W. Jackson, who served as Recovery Controller for the Biosatellite program and as Flight Director for the Pioneer spacecraft. |
| Elliott C. Levinthal Viking Lander Imaging Science Team Papers, 1970-1980 |
This collection consists primarily of the Viking orbiter and lander photographic materials such as prints with descriptive captions, stereo positive/negative film pairs, and 35mm presentation slides. It also includes maps, ephemera, and published materials such as newsletters, bulletins, press kits, technical reports and articles related to the imaging aspects of the Viking Mission. Additionally, there is fair amount of documentation that encompasses stereo and anaglyph imaging, including materials related to the documentary film "Mars in 3D." (For a detailed inventory, see Other Collection Guides, below.) |
| Larry A. Manning Papers, 1967-1988 |
This collection includes technical publications, project reports and proposals that Larry A. Manning produced, collaborated on or referenced during his career as a scientist and science administrator. The bulk of the collection reflects his career as a mission analyst and aerospace engineer for NASA during the late 1960s and 1970s. The collection is divided into two series: technical works authored by Manning and documentation supporting his research and administrative activities. |
| Daily Flight Logs, 1949-1950 |
Daily Flight Logs, 1949 - 1950 is composed of flight logs kept by the Flight Operations group of the Northern California-based National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) on a daily basis for the years 1949 and 1950. |
| Ames Astrogram, 1958-2004 |
The Ames Astrogram collection contains two copies of every issue of the Astrogram published from 1958 to 2004. |
| Archives Reference Collection, 1939-1998 |
The Archives Reference Collection in the NASA Ames History Office provides a sampling of materials that span the history of the Center from its origins in December 1939 through 2005. This collection presents the best general overview of the activities, people, research and development, and organization of the NASA Ames Research Center. Emphasized are photographs, news clippings, brochures, and administrative reports that provide the level of detail needed to answer a query about some subject in Ames history. (For a list of holdings by subject, see Other Collection Guides, below.) |
Histories of Ames Research Files,
1970-2000 |
The Histories of Ames Research Files collection was established for the purpose of gathering in one collection the research materials collected by individuals hired by NASA to write histories of NASA Ames or its research and development activities. The collection contains drafts of monographs and articles, as well as the materials gathered by the authors during their research. The materials in this collection cover the history of NASA Ames from the early 1940s through to 1998, and include information gathered from sources such as the Ames "Astrogram," the Center's newsletter; histories of NASA Ames Center branches; writings and papers by NASA Ames engineers and scientists; and scientific journals. |
Pioneer Project Records,
1952-1996 |
The NASA Pioneer Program ultimately sent into outer space eight craft to explore the nearby and far away reaches of the solar system. This collection is made up of records maintained by the Pioneer Program Management Office, which was located at the NASA Ames Research Center. Materials in the collection include contractor records, proposals, reviews, reports, drawings, specifications, and correspondence related to the construction and design of the Pioneer 10, 11 and 12 spacecraft. (For a detailed inventory, see Other Collection Guides, below.) |
