A Military Airlift Command C-130 aircraft prepares to load the flown AS201 command module for transport to the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas for further review and tests after its February 1966 suborbital test flight.

The large vacuum chamber in the Space Environment Simulation Laboratory (SESL), Chamber A, is a large stainless steel vessel, 65' in diameter by 120' high. The door is 55' in diameter. Inside clear dimensions are 55' diameter by a height of 90'. The chamber is used to simulate a lunar environment. Temperate can be controlled to simulate lunar surface temperatures from -315 to +260 degrees Fahrenheit. A scale model of the Apollo capsule awaits testing.

This simulator, five feet in diameter, had three degrees of rotational freedom, and simulated the motion of space vehicle attitude control systems. The simulator's control torque-to-inertia ratios, or angular accelerations, are adjustable.

Ethyl Corporation, a fuel-additive corporation, was the first to use tetraethylene (TEL) as an anti knock additive in gasoline. Here a mock up of an engine demonstrates the difference in Premium, Standard and Regular gasoline performance at an early press conference in the early 1960s.

A view of the Mission Operations Control Room (MOCR) at NASA/JSC, circa 1966, during a Gemini mission, possibly Gemini 3.

$The solar optical telescope, housed at NASA/JSC Building 270, is a 6' refractor type with an effective aperture of 5'. It is equipped with an hydrogen alpha filter,, a solar spectrograph, optical and TV cameras and associated equipment.$

The Apollo Mission Simulator was a fixed base training device capable of simulating the characteristics of space vehicle systems, performance and flight dynamics.

Prime crew for the first manned Apollo mission practice water egress procedures with full scale boilerplate model of their spacecraft. Astronaut Edward H. White II rides life raft in the foreground. Astronaut Roger B. Chaffee sits in hatch of the boilerplate model of the spacecraft. Astronaut Virgil I. Grissom, third member of the crew, waits inside the spacecraft.

A view taken inside the staff support room (SSR), a support room for the MOCR (Mission Operations Control Room) used for scheduling, monitoring and directing network activities and readiness checks. Responsibilities also include verifying remote site prepass equipment and directing network handover operations.

The recovered Command Module from the first Apollo unmanned test flight, AS201, sits on the deck of the USS Boxer. The stack consisted of the Block 1 Command Service Module (CSM) and two Saturn rocket stages, and was designed to test the launch vehicle and CSM separation and rocket firing.

View of the now-defunct centrifuge at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC), now the Johnson Space Center (JSC) formerly located in the Flight Acceleration Facility, bldg 29. The 50-ft. arm can swing the three man gondola to create g-forces astronauts will experience during controlled flight and during reentry. The centrifuge was designed primarily for training Apollo astronauts.

This is the main computing console for the Data Reduction Complex and is the heart of the NASA-MSC postflight data processing and reduction for America's manned space flight activities. Information telemetried back from orbiting spacecraft is processed here in order that scientists and engineers can perform a complete post-flight analysis of the mission.

An optical printer, circa 1964. Photo optical printers were used to create effects on film, from dissolves and zooms to aspect ratio changes. This printer also has a color head (left) allowing for color correction.

State of the art voice and recording studios for film work, scoring, dubbing and interlock playback, circa 1964.

Gordon Cooper was launched into space on May 15, 1963 aboard the Mercury-Atlas 9 (Faith 7) spacecraft, the last Mercury mission. He orbited the Earth 22 times and logged more time in space than all five previous Mercury astronauts combined 34 hours, 19 minutes and 49 seconds, traveling 546,167 miles (878,971 km) at 17,547 mph (28,239 km/h), pulling a maximum of 7.6 g (74.48 m/s). Towards the end of the Faith 7 flight there were mission-threatening technical problems. During the 19th orbit the

Extravehicular space suite worn by a Gemini 4 astronaut is shown on a test subject. Gold coated umbilical connects the astronaut to the Gemini spacecraft.

The Lunar Landing Training Vehicle (LLTV) was developed for NASA by Bell Aerosystems, Inc. The LLTV was used by NASA Apollo Program astronauts to develop piloting skills. The LLTV provided Apollo program commanders the opportunity to experience the flight characteristics associated with the 1/6th gravity conditions on the moon. The first LLTV vehicle was assembled at Ellington Air force Base in Houston, Texas in 1967. This is most likely the first LLTV.

A major objective of Project Gemini was to demonstrate the solution of the rendezvous and docking problems as associated with Earth orbiting vehicles. This simulator is a moving base simulator and is applicable to that port of the mission from a range of 100 feet separation of the two vehicles to physical contact, docking, rigidizing, unlatching and maneuvering away.

Astronaut Alan Shepard in his pressure suit, for the Mercury-Redstone 3 (MR-3) flight, the first American manned space flight. On May 5, 1961, Shepard piloted the Freedom 7 mission and became the second person, and the first American, to travel into space.

Gemini 12 prime crew, Astronauts James A. Lovell Jr. (leading), command pilot, and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., pilot, leave the suiting trailer at Launch Complex 16 during prelaunch countdown.

Ice crystals glow a bright yellow from the rising full moon as a winter storm moves from the Pacific Ocean into the foothills surrounding Foresthill, California. Digitally composited.

The closest planetary nebula to Earth at about 450 light years, the Helix can be seen as a soft glow from dark skies even in binoculars. It is also one of the largest planetary nebulas.

The 42" telescope glows softly red in this time exposure of the dome illuminated by a partial moon. Just above the dome the constellation Orion is rising into the winter sky. The 42" telescope is one of several that Lowell Observatory uses on Anderson Mesa, located just south of Flagstaff, Arizona.
