Inventory of STS-56 through STS-73 Mission Documents
Get PDFThe series of documents, contain documents from STS-56 through STS-73 They include mission reports, press information, flight data, and presentations, as missions grow this run, a subseries named for each mission will be created. Documents are arranged numerically by mission (not chronologically as flown) and within each mission documents are arranged chronologically and run from 1993 to 1995
Inventory of Air Force Reports
No full textThis subseries consists of weekly reports related to shuttle activities as well as various U.S. Air Force generated reports related directly and indirectly to the Space Shuttle. They have been collected from a number of sources and are arranged chronologically
Inventory of Flight Director’s Mission Documents
No full textThis subseries consists of anomaly lists, *CHIT* lists, flight related reports, and mission action requests collected by the Flight Director's Office and compiled on microfiche. They cover STS-26 through STS-39 and most documents (with the exception of backup material) were created during the missions by mission operations staff either in or supporting the mission control center. They are arranged by mission with one mission per fiche envelope. *CHIT from Apollo days was an acronym for Crew Honest Input from Training. When DA staff was asked what this acronym meant in Shuttle, no one was sure However the CHIT list is the list form which anomaly lists are generated. [NOTE TO RESEARCHERS: THE MICROFICHE IN THIS SECTION IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE UHCL ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS. IT IS LISTED HERE BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE JSC HISTORY COLLECTION, BUT IT IS SUSPECTED NASA SENT THIS MICROFICHE BACK TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES]
Inventory of Early Shuttle Development--Steve Andrich Papers
No full textThis subseries consists of documents pertaining to early shuttle development and design from 1969 to 1972, the majority dating from 1970. Early shuttle conceptual design data, as well as numerous correspondence, reports, and diagrams, are an integral part of the collection. The provenance of this material is Steve Andrich, who worked at JSC from 1963 to 1990. Starting in the Special Projects division of the Gemini Program Office, he moved to the Spacecraft Design Office in early 1967 and was involved in early design and development of the space shuttle. From 1975 to 1986 he was assigned to the Orbiter Systems Operation Office, and from 1986 until his retirement worked in the Flight Requirements Office of the STS Orbiter and GFE Projects Office. A letter from Mr. Andrich describing the contents of this collection has been placed in the first folder. The next two folders contain a huge volume of information concerning early shuttle design that Mr. Andrich has simply named Book #1 and Book #2, with the appropriate dates included. From this point forward, the collection has been arranged chronologically. Some subject folders that are of particular interest are the 1968 space suit material; the early shuttle drawings by various contractors dated April 13, 1970; the crew/passenger cabin studies; the in-house early shuttle configurations, which contain numerous drawings and designs; the NR mini shuttle concept; and the management approach folder, which is a detailed flowchart of early shuttle program management. The collection ends with evaluation reports on the first and second shuttle flights. Since they were spaced rather far chronologically from the rest of the collection, they have been placed last in the collection
Finding Aid for the Timber Cove Collection, 1958-2009 (#2011-0008)
No full textThe Timber Cove Collection is composed of memoirs, oral history interviews, maps, brochures, event programs, a telephone directory, and miscellaneous materials, documenting the history of the Timber Cove neighborhood of Taylor Lake Village, Texas. The collection was created by Deborah Griffin, a resident of Timber Cove and director of operations at University of Houston-Clear Lake’s College of Human Sciences and Humanities, during efforts to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the neighborhood. Current and former residents of Timber Cove donated items about their lives in the neighborhood, and participated in oral history interviews related to the neighborhood’s history
Inventory of Richard H. Kohrs Papers
No full textThis subseries contains materials related to the National Space Transportation System (NSTS) Program from 1975 to 1989, with the majority of the collection dating from 1986 to 1989. It contains a number of interesting topics, chief of which are post-Challenger documents and memos on NSTS organization changes and shuttle redesigns. There is also an extensive memo and newspaper clippings collection for the year 1972. This year was a turning point for NASA in terms of presidential politics, the transition to post-Apollo programs (i.e., shuttle development), and Congressional funding of the space program. The provenance of this collection is Richard H. Kohrs, Deputy Director, NSTS Program from 1987-1989. He is currently Director of Space Station Freedom. Biographical data on Mr. Kohrs can be found in the contents folder for this collection. The original order of the collection was adjusted to account for the various subject areas. These subject areas are arranged in alphabetical order below. The contents are arranged by document number when available or chronologically when no document number is used. The Shuttle documents are arranged alphabetically. The subject areas are: Anomaly Status Reports JSC Documents JSCM Documents KSC Documents NASA TM Documents NSTS Documents Shuttle-C papers Shuttle Documents STS Documents Unmanned Shuttle Flight Verification/Certification Assessment of Shuttle Program A chronological placement was chosen for the remainder of the collection. The memo and newspaper clippings collection for 1972 has been placed in the Special Materials area in boxes 11-12. Included in this section are various memos from other NASA centers and Headquarters, as well as maps of a majority of the NASA centers
Inventory of MPAD/RTG (Brown) Documents
No full textRobert Brown was Branch Chief of the Technology Development & Applications Branch of the Mission Planning & Analysis Division (MPAD). Among other functions, this branch was responsible for dynamic systems. Mr. Brown also chaired the committee studying the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) to be used in the Galileo and Ulysses payloads scheduled to fly on the Shuttle. This subseries consists predominantly of copies of meeting minutes, reports and correspondence related to Mr. Brown's role in the safety testing of the RTG device. The collection runs from the mid 1970s through 1988. Boxes 1 through 13 contain original files in the order received. No changes were made to the contents and minimal changes for readability were made to the titles. Box 13 through the end of the run contain the contents of notebooks. The contents were removed and foldered according to the inventory received with the books. Green dividers mark each book title from the original notebook. Basically, nothing has been changed. Some documents were listed in detail and others not mentioned at all. Those not listed, in most cases, were kept in the original order and placed in folders with listed documents. Where documents had lost the original order (not in notebooks or not related to material surrounding it), documents were put into folders entitled (Miscellaneous, Unlisted.) Because original order was maintained so that the inventory listing could be used, the chronological order of documents from the notebooks (although not consistent) generally goes from most recent to earliest dates. The original order of the files seemed to have been alphabetical
Inventory of Spacelab Safety Reviews
No full textThis collection contains 4 linear feet of documents resulting from the safety review process conducted for Spacelabs 1, 2, 3, and D-1. The documents were donated to the History Office by Robert J. Wren of the Engineering Directorate, Systems Engineering Division, Systems Engineering and Integration Office. Mr. Wren has been a member of the Payload Safety Review Panel since 1984. The panel is responsible for assessing the integrated payload/ground support equipment (GSE) safety analyses performed by various payload organizations. The results of the safety analyses are recorded in a safety assessment report and presented to the panel in accordance with the requirements cited in NSTS 1700.7 and KHB 1700.7. (Additional guidelines on the safety process are found in NSTS 13830, Implementation Procedure for NSTS Payloads, System Safety Requirements.) The payload/GSE includes all individual elements of the payload/GSE developed for and by the payload organization, the interfaces among those elements, and any NASA-provided or NSTS-provided equipment physically mounted on the payload. This collection dates from March 19, 1982 to February 6, 1986 and includes safety assessment reports, memoranda, review data packages, presentations, minutes of meetings, action items, comments, closures, compliance data packages, and certifications. The material is arranged chronologically within each mission subgroup. For more information on Spacelab see Spacelab Correspondence, Spacelab Design Reviews, Spacelab Reports, and the Bilstein Collection. Normally there are 4 safety reviews. Phase 0 is held during the concept phase; phase I about the time of the preliminary design review; phase II about the time of the critical design review; and phase III completed 30 days prior to delivery of the payload at the launch site
Understanding the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, social-emotional learning skills, and behavioral difficulties of youth
No full textDual-factor models of mental health, those that include risk of psychopathology and well-being/protective factors, provide a more comprehensive understanding of an individual’s complete mental health. Social-emotional learning (SEL) skills and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are each independently linked in the literature with predicting the likelihood of displaying internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Such behavioral concerns have implications for multiple areas of functioning across the lifespan including mental health concerns, as well as academic and vocational success. This study investigated whether a dual-factor model including youth SEL skills and youth ACEs as rated by parents might successfully differentiate children and adolescents with higher rates of internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Results indicated that such a model did predict internalizing and externalizing behavior concerns. Moreover, analysis indicated that as SEL skills increased, there was a reduction in level of both internalizing and externalizing behavior concerns, even for those with high levels of ACEs, though the reduction was greatest for those with fewer ACEs. In addition, as parental ACES have also been found to play a role in youth internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, a second model was investigated which included parent ACEs in addition to youth SEL skills and youth ACEs. Analysis indicated that these models were successful in predicting levels of internalizing and externalizing behavior concerns. Changes in predicted variance between internalizing and externalizing behavior models were statistically significant. It is notable that when parent ACEs were added to the model, the interaction between youth SEL skills and youth ACEs was no longer significant. Implications for the importance of including consideration of both risk and protective factors in screening and other early intervention measures are considered
Finding Aid for the Clear Lake Heritage Society History Book Project Records, 1990-1993 (#2011-0003)
No full textThe collection is composed of reproduction and original photographs, documents, pamphlets, booklets, and other materials, compiled or created by the Clear Lake Heritage Society (later Clear Lake Area Heritage Society) for the purpose of the publication of a coffee table-style history book on communities in the Clear Lake area of Texas. The book was supposed to be published between 1992 and 1993, but the California publisher Windsor Publications, Inc., went out of business in 1993. The materials in this collection are the items sent in the packet of reproduction and original historical photographs, manuscript pages, and other information, by the Society to the publisher for the book project. The collection features images and historical information on various Clear Lake area communities, individuals, and organizations, including Kemah, League City, Clear Lake City, Clear Creek, and Japanese pioneer Mitsutaro Kobayashi, among other topics
