THE LITERATURE OF SPACE SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION
Introduction
IIn the years to come it is quite likely that much will be written about outer
( space, for with the dawn of the space age in late 1957 came greater opportunities
I
for scientific observation and experiment. Progress and action should, and no
. I . doubt will), be recorded by bibliographers. Meanwhile, in this interval - the prelude
to space travel - it seems desirable to record in bibliographic medium, and to a
greater extent than in previous efforts, references to the printed thoughts of those
?`
i whose enthusiasm and experimentation led to the planning and launching of the first
W % rockets; the launching of the first earth satellites in 1957; and, in early 1958, to
i the announcement by President Eisenhower of the projected timetable for technical
objectives which may result in a trip to the Moon.
SCOPE
I The period covered is 1903 through June 1958.
This, therefore, is a fairly exhaustive bibliography of references to published
unclassified information involving books, periodical articles and research reports
on the more scientific aspects of space exploration, both theoretical and applied.
Some news reports are included in order to delineate the course of events. News-
paper coverage can be obtained through the New York Times Index and Soviet Bloc
International Geophysical Year Information, a publication of the Office of Technical
; Services, U.S. Department of Commerce.
V
The references divide almost automatically into two categories; pre-satellite
and satellite literature. The pre-satellite information is quite theoretical and, in
fact, almost fanciful in 4ome instances. Due to the stream of writing since the
announcement of the International Geophysical Year plans, by far the greater por-
tion of the bibliography concerns the progress, development and scientific uses of
instrumented vehicles. Since the Vanguard Project is currently a major research
project at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, a principal objective has been to
cover everything, within the availability of the Naval Research Laboratory Library,
that has been written on the artificial satellite, Vanguard. Included are all refer-
ences to the Russian Sputniks and the United States Army's Explorers which it has
been possible to locate through a search of indexes and journals.
Entries on rocket launching appear only if they apply to satellite problems.
The use of manned vehicles is touched upon in several articles, as is the legality of
space flight, and space medicine, but it has been the intent to exclude physiological
and legal aspects. Some references to these phases may be found in the bibli-
ographies listed below.
ARRANGEMENT
0
References are listed chronologically by author or issuing agency. An author
index appears on pages 233-244, a subject index on pages 245-264.
For periodical references, the normal form of entry is author, title, and
journal, volume, pagination, and date, followed by a brief annotation or abstract.
Abbreviations for journal titles are based on those used by the U.S. Naval Research
Laboratory. A list of these abbreviations together with the journals which they
represent appears on the pages immediately following the Preface.
The form of entry for books is author, title, pagination, place of publication,
publisher, and year. This sequence is also followed in citing articles in Proceedings
of meetings, symposia and conferences.

Research reports are recorded in a similar manner except that place of publi-
cation follows the corporate author. The report number is also included following
the date of publication, as well as the contract number, for sake of convenience in
ordering or borrowing.

The majority of references have been examined. When examination was not
possible, due to non-availability of the publication, entries located in abstracting
journals were used, or the statement "not examined" included. Because of this fact,
some citations are not complete, or some foreign language articles are recorded in
English, rather than in the original language. In every such instance, however, a
note indicates the language in which the article is written.

The discussions revolve around a
three-stage rocket employing
hydrazine-liquid oxygen propellants
and designed to place a 500 pound
instrumentation payload on a stable
orbit 350 miles above the earth.
Problems include the flow over the
external surface of the rocket(drag),
the flow through the rocket motor,
and heat transferred to the skin of
the rocket by forced convection.

Estimates the metal plate thickness
necessary to prevent perforation by
the impact of meteorites of different
sizes. For stainless steel skin
thicknesses ranging from 0.05 to
0.02 inch it is necessary to consider
meteorites as small as those cor-
responding to magnitude 8 to 11,
respectively. In general, however,
it is found that for meteorites which
are large enough to present a per-
foration hazard, the probability of a
hit is negligibly small, particularly
if the body is not exposed to mete-
oritic impact for excessively long
periods of time. See also article by
