Trade paperback. Etat : Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. xii, [2], 164 pages. Scarce privately published memoir by a major NASA technical manager. Illustrated cover has some wear and soiling. Illustrations (some in color). Inscribed by the author on the second page. The inscription reads For Sarah Roy Day. Foreword by Dr. George Mueller. Acronyms. References. The author was involved in the Gemini Program, The Apollo Program and the Space Shuttle Program. LeRoy E. Day began his NASA career as the Acting Deputy Director of the Gemini Program in 1962. In 1966, he became the director of Apollo testing. He was named to head the Space Shuttle Task Group in April 1969. In December 1970, he became the Deputy Director of the Shuttle Program. In 1980, he became the Director for Space Transportation System Engineering and Integration. Manned Space Flight related the remembrances of the author who spent nineteen years with NASA in three major manned space programs: the two-man Gemini, the Apollo moon landing and the Space Shuttle. His management involvement in these programs allowed him to be present for a number of significant space milestones: the first rendezvous of two manned spacecrafts, the first time an astronaut moved from his spacecraft into free space; the first flight of Apollo around the moon; the landing of astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon; and the development and successful flights of the Space Shuttle. Many of the early pioneers who were associates of the author are identified. LeRoy "Roy" Day is an aerospace engineer, a graduate of Georgia Tech, who began his career as a Naval Officer. His early work was in the development and test of guided missiles and pilotless aircraft. During this period he worked with several German scientists who had been brought to the U.S. after the conclusion of World War II. He joined NASA shortly after John Glenn made the first American orbital flight in February 1962. He headed a group that did the initial planning for the Space Shuttle and then continued as the Deputy Director, Space Shuttle for its development and first flight. Roy Day holds advanced degrees from UCLA and MIT. He has written numerous technical papers and his autobiography, "Road from Hilldene." He is a member of the International Academy of Astronautics, a recipient of NASA's Distinguished Service Medal and listed in Who's Who in America. N° de réf. du vendeur 90236
