Contact seller5-star sellerArchive of 28 different publications. 4to. viii, [642 pp (sections separately paginated).]; iii, [284 (sections separately paginated).]; Nos. 3-28 [Approx. 300 pp (all sections separately paginated).] With 100s of photo plates, photo illustrations, diagrams, text illustrations, text diagrams. First two parts in printed softcover…s as published, all others with self-printed illustrated softcovers, some stamped w/ numbers, some uncut and unopened, others stapled as issued, still an excellent archive, from the library of aeronautical engineer Curtis N. Orsborn, who was one of the early engineers in the Air Force Space Program, worked for NASA during the Apollo program, and eventually moved to Boeing where he helped develop the Sea Launch system for spacecraft which was a multinational spacecraft launch service that used a mobile maritime launch platform for Zenith-3SL rockets through 2014. Preprint advance copies for the Gemini Midprogram Conference report which was later condensed and published by NASA following the Feb., 1966 conference, first editions of all the other reports and NASA Facts in this archive. The first volume in the Midprogram Conference consisted of papers grouped into technical areas such as Spacecraft, Launch Vehicle, Mission operations, and Mission results. The entire Gemini space program was designed as a bridge between the Mercury and Apollo space programs, intended to primarily test equipment, mission procedures, and train astronauts and ground crews for Apollo missions. These reports and extra fact sheets encompass and describe the Gemini 1 & 2 which were uncrewed orbital flights, Gemini 3 crewed by Gus Grissom and John Young; Gemini 4 crewed by James McDivitt and Ed White which included the first American space walk; Gemini 5 crewed by Gordon Cooper and Pete Conrad evaluating weightlessness on astronauts;, and the radar pod; Gemini 6 & 7 which allowed ship to ship rendezvous between spacecraft; Gemini 8 crewed by Neil Armstrong and David Scott which performed rendezvous and docking tests with the Agena target vehicle; Gemini 9 carried Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan and simulated maneuvers for future Apollo Missions, Gemini X & XI also carried out docking and first orbit maneuvers. Gemini provided an invaluable stepping stone to the very successful Apollo space program, and many of the methods developed by astronauts during these missions overcame and solved many of problems that would often emerge during space flight. A number of the Fact Sheets, and reports from JPL in this archive detail the Ranger series spacecraft which were designed to fly straight down towards the Moon and send images back until the moment of impact. Rangers 7 through 9 were launched from 1964 to 1965 and the detailed images showed Apollo mission planners that finding a smooth landing site was very difficult in the mission planning. In addition, there are status reports and mission reports for the Surveyor spacecraft landings, including Surveyor 5 which was the third spacecraft in the series to achieve a successful lunar soft landing, and the first to obtain necessary data for Apollo landings on the Moon. No copies of Gemini Midprogram Conference "preprint" reports located in Worldcat; See Dr. David Williams, E. Bell II (Curator), NASA Space Science Data Coordinated Archive, Gemini; Apollo, Mercury, Ranger, Surveyor, Mariner spacecraft (2018).

The launch was deliberately aimed away from Mars to ensure that neither the unsterilized Centaur nor the spacecraft would impact Mars and contaminate the planet.
