Early Papers on Space Flight, 1958
Scope and Contents
Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory Papers briefly document GML's productive work at the NACA laboratory. The Papers are divided into GML's publications and reports, files from courses taught and attended, and miscellaneous notes and collected materials. In addition to a complete collection of his NACA Technical Notes, the chronologically arranged publications and reports include papers regarding GML's investigations into early space technology problems, and planning reports for NASA facilities. Course files have been divided into courses taught and courses attended, each section being organized chronologically. Of interest among these lecture synopses and notes are a series of 30 lectures on space technology by the top scientists and engineers of 1958. Later lectures on space technology are included in NASA Miscellaneous Papers. The Lewis Miscellaneous Papers are divided into notes relating to GML's work in aerospace and aeronautics, collected papers documenting early space technology developments, and miscellaneous papers. Personnel information pertaining to GML's NACA years is located in NASA Administrative and General Apollo Files.
