Beskrivelse
In 1973, NASA published the first volume of the NASA Historical Data Book, a hefty tome containing mostly tabular data on the resources of the space Agency between 1958 and 1968. There, broken into detailed tables, were facts and figures associated with the budget, facilities, procurement, installations, and personnel of NASA during that formative decade. In 1988, NASA reissued that first volume of the data book and added two additional volumes (one for 1958-1968 and one for 1969-1978) on the Agency's programs and projects. NASA published a fourth volume in 1994 that addressed NASA's resources for the period between 1969 and 1978. In 1999, it published volume V of the data book, which contained narrative and tabular information on the Agency's launch systems, space transportation, human spaceflight, and space science programs between 1979 and 1988. Volume VI, published in 2000, was a continuation of those earlier efforts and addressed the Agency's space applications efforts, the development and operation of aeronautics and space research and technology programs, tracking and data acquisition/space operations, commercial programs, facilities and installations, personnel, and finances and procurement during that era. Volume VII, published in 2008, addressed the decade from 1989 to 1998. It consisted of narrative and tabular material on the Agency's launch systems, space transportation, human spaceflight, and space science programs. This eighth volume continues those earlier efforts. This fundamental reference tool presents information, much of it statistical, documenting the development of several critical areas of NASA responsibility for the period between 1989 and 1998. This volume includes detailed information on NASA's Earth science/space applications efforts, the development and operation of aeronautics and space research and technology programs, tracking and data acquisition/space operations, facilities and installations, personnel, and finances and procurement during this era.
