ASTRONAUTICS AND AERONAUTICS, 1967 May 18 May 17: United States exhibits spacecraft at Expo ‘67 in Montreal: Lunar Orbiter (top left), Surveyor (center), and Apollo Command Module suspended from parachutes (right) . G. Shinkle (USA, Ret.) Apollo Program Manager at KSC, resigned for cc personal reasons.” Dr. Kurt H. Debus, KSC Director, commented: “I deeply regret the decision of General Shinkle to leave the program. Throughout his association here, his experience has been of major assistance in our contribution to the Apollo program.” (NASA Releases 67- 128,67-129; AP, NYT, 5J2Oj67, 2) 0 NASA announced it would negotiate three-month $500,000 fixed-price con- 159
May 18 ASTRONAUTICS AND AERONAUTICS, 1%7 tracts with Martin Marietta Corp. and McDonnell Aircraft Astronautics Co. for preliiary design studies (Phase B) of planetary entry cap sules for the Voyager program. Phase B contractor efforts were the responsibility of JPL in conjunction with URC. Responsibility for system design and hardware development subsequent to Phase B would be divided between JPL and L ~RC with JPL responsible for surface laboratory and L ~RC responsible for capsule bus system, which included entry and landing equipment. (NASA Release 67-126) * NASC Executive Secretary Dr. Edward C. Welsh, delivering the Steinmetz Memorial Lecture at Union College, Schenectady, N.Y ., emphasized the contributions of the US. space program to national security. “Surely, we must all realize that the more certain potential aggressors are that we are informed and alert, the less is the likelihood of attack and the greater is the likelihood of peace. Space competence contributes significantly to our state of alertness and awareness. . . . We are not developing space weapons systems which might threaten the security of other countries, but rather we are developing insurance against the violation of international treaties as well as against surprise attacks. Those who want to live within the reasonable limitations of international law and who desire and are willing to work for world peace surely should welcome a program which lessens the risks of world conflict. Our space activity constitutes such a program.” (Text) May 19: U.N. space law treaty had been ratified by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, Tass announced. Presidium acted on behalf of the Supreme Soviet when the full body was not in session. Ratified by US. Senate April 25, treaty would become effective when US., U.S.S.R., U.K., and two other nations had filed ratification papers. Washington Evening Star later commented: “. . . [the space law treaty] may not be one of the most significant agreements of our time, but it is surely the most far-reaching, encompassing nothing less than the infinities between us and the stars. It is an agreement, moreover, that puts America and Russia on the same side. It can be helpful as an example of what the two of us can do together-down here on the troubled earth-to promote a good and enduring peace.” (NYT, 5/20/ 67, 1, 5; AI?, W Star, 5/20/67, A5; W Post, 5/20/67, 1; W Star, 5/22/67, A16) * Press briefing on Esro I1 satellite and NASA International Cooperative Programs was held at NASA Hq. Arnold W. Frutkin, NASA Assistant Administrator for International Affairs, discussed the areas of cooperation between NASA and ESRO, emphasizing the “unprecedented data exchange agreement. . . . I don’t think there is anything quite as sophisticated or as extensive in the international field. Under this agreement. . . ESRO assumes responsibility to collect all of the European technical report literature relevant to space activities, indexes and abstracts it, reduces it to a standard microfiche or microcard format which is compatible with our own system, and provides that material to us. We incorporate it in a single combined publication eveiy two weeks, listing all of the US. and European literature in the field so that it is available to both sides. . . .’’ Brian M. Walker, ESRO Project Coordinator for Esro 11, announced that next ESRO satelliteEsro I-would be launched in late 1967 to study the ionosphere. Esro I1 was scheduled for launch from WTR May 29.
