The Middle Atmosphere Program (MAP) was an international scientific cooperative program under the aegis of the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP). It commenced on January 1, 1982 and concluded on December 31, 1985. MAP was followed by a further period of cooperation known as Middle Atmosphere Continuation (MAC) in order to take advantage of satellite and Spacelab experiments from 1985 to 1990. MAP had its origins in a proposal made at the 1972 meeting of IUCSTP to organize a coordinated global program to study the structure and energetics of the stratosphere and...

The program that became Skylab was conceived in 1963, when the Office of Manned Space Flight began to study options for manned programs to follow Apollo. Although America's lunar landing program was a long way from successful completion, it was not too soon to consider what should come next. The long lead times required for space projects dictated an early start in planning if manned spaceflight was to continue without a momentum-sapping hiatus. The circumstances in which this planning was conducted in 1963-1 967 were not auspicious. A consensus seemed to exist that earth orbital operations...

R. Cargill Hall has written a history. Readers not familiar with the state of writing about twentieth century technology and science may not realize his achievement. Accounts-so-called histories-of recent technology and science are often little more than simplistic narratives focusing almost entirely upon sequences in hardware development or upon scientific idea explication. In commendable contrast, Hall organized a coherent narrative and analysis of complex institutions, people, ideas, and machines changing in character and in relationship one to another over time. His history of the Ranger...
