The NASA History Division is pleased to announce the availability of Research in NASA History (NASA SP-2009-4543, Monograph in Aerospace History 43).   This updated version explains what kinds of resources are available from the NASA History Division at Headquarters, the Field Centers, the National Archives, and other relevant organizations for researchers in aerospace history.  If you’d like a hard copy of this monograph, please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the NASA History Division, Suite CO72, NASA HQ, Washington, DC 20546 for this 86-page, 8 ½ x 11” monograph.  It is also available at http://history.nasa.gov/sp4543.pdf online.

 

In addition, we now have available from http://history.nasa.gov/DPT/DPT.htm online a significant collection of primary source documents from NASA’s Decadal Planning Team (DPT).  The DPT began in 1999 as an effort to chart a new direction for NASA, prior to the announcement of the Vision for Space Exploration in January 2004.  People interested in NASA long-range planning and policy may find this set of materials particularly interesting and timely.  Thanks to DPT participant Harley Thronson for providing these documents and a background essay.
