PDF-(EBOOK)-Integrating Women into the Astronaut Corps: Politics and Logistics at NASA, 1972–2004

Why Amy E Foster asks did it take two decades after the Soviet Union launched its first female cosmonaut for the United States to send its first female astronaut into space In answering this question Foster recounts the complicated history of integrating women into NASAs astronaut corpsNASA selected its first six female astronauts in 1978 Foster examines the political technological and cultural challenges that the agency had to overcome to usher in this new era in spaceflight She shows how NASA had long developed progressive hiring policies but was limited in executing them by a national agenda to beat the Soviets to the moon budget constraints and cultural ideas about womens roles in AmericaLively writing and compelling stories including personal interviews with Americas first women astronauts propel Fosters account Through extensive archival research Foster also examines NASAs directives about sexual discrimination the technological issues in integrating women into the corps and the popular medias discussion of women in space Foster puts together a truly original study of the experiences not only of early women astronauts but also of the managers and engineers who helped launch them into spaceIn documenting these events Foster offers a broader understanding of the difficulties in sexually integrating any workplace even when the organization approaches the situation with as positive an outlook and as strong a motivation as did NASA.

The story of Apollo has been told many times, but most accounts stop at the first landing. This book picks up where others have left off, and describes the five post-Apollo 11 Moon landings, defined as technical developments built upon engineering excellence. It was only through the robust design adopted when aerospace contractors first designed and built the Apollo spacecraft and the Lunar Module that successive evolutions were possible, taking lunar-landing operations far beyond what had first been envisaged. This book is not intended to tell the full story of each mission, but rather to describe the technical development of spacecraft and equipment necessary to grow the capability from a single EVA (‘moonwalk’) of less than three hours, to advanced missions where astronauts spent three full working days exploring their landing sites. With the aid of a Lunar Roving Vehicle, they collected a wide variety of rocks and soil and left a range of instruments at the surface powered by a thermonuclear generator. As interest grows in humans returning to the Moon, 50 years on from those pioneering days of lunar exploration, we look again at what was accomplished at the dawn of the Space Age, spurred on by a political goal and developed as a tool for science.  The story of the Apollo Moon missions is an expression of those achievements.
