NASA SP-2007-563, FORMULATION OF NASA's CONSTELLATION PROGRAM (IAC-07-B3.1.06)

NASA SP-2007-563, FORMULATION OF NASA's CONSTELLATION PROGRAM (IAC-07-B3.1.06). NASA has recently formed the Constellation Program to achieve the objectives of maintaining American presence in low Earth orbit, returning to the moon for purposes of establishing an outpost, and laying the foundation to explore Mars and beyond in the first half of the 21st century. The Constellation Program’s heritage rests on the successes and lessons learned from NASA’s previous human spaceflight programs: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS). This paper describes the rationale behind the formulation of the Constellation Program, including organizational structure, and workforce structure, as well as the approaches to requirements generation, budget formulation, operational philosophies, and procurement strategies.

NASA SP-6107, HUMAN EXPLORATION OF MARS: THE REFERENCE MISSION OF THE MARS EXPLORATION STUDY TEAM

NASA SP-6107, HUMAN EXPLORATION OF MARS: THE REFERENCE MISSION OF THE MARS EXPLORATION STUDY TEAM. Sending people to Mars has been a long-held dream of humankind, and many have approached the task of turning the dream into reality. This document is another chapter in the ongoing process of melding new and existing technologies, practical operations, fiscal reality, and common sense into a feasible and viable human mission to Mars. However, this is not the last chapter in the process, but marks a snapshot in time that will be added to and improved upon by others in the future. This report has benefited from the contributions and advice of many individuals from the government and private sectors. The individuals listed on the following page assisted in preparing the concepts described in this report and in compiling the words, images, and data used for that description.

NASA SP-7084, GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION, AND CAPITALIZATION (AUG 1998)

NASA SP-7084, Grammar, Punctuation, and Capitalization, A Handbook for Technical Writers and Editors (Aug 1998). The four chapters making up this reference publication were originally written as part of an ongoing effort to write a style manual for the Technical Editing Branch of the NASA Langley Research Center. These chapters were written for technical publishing professionals (primarily technical editors) at Langley. At the urging of my branch head, I am making this part of the style manual available to the technical publishing community. This publication is directed toward professional writers, editors, and proofreaders. Those whose profession lies in other areas (for example, research or management), but who have occasion to write or review others' writing will also find this information useful. By carefully studying the examples and revisions to these examples, you can discern most of the techniques in my editing "bag of tricks"; I hope that you editors will find these of particular interest. Being a technical editor, I drew nearly all the examples from the documents written by Langley's research staff. I admit that these examples are highly technical and therefore harder to understand, but technical editors and other technical publishing professionals must understand grammar, punctuation, and capitalization in the context in which they work. In writing these chapters, I came to a realization that has slowly been dawning on me during my 15 years as a technical editor: authorities differ on many rules of grammar, punctuation, and capitalization; these rules are constantly changing (as is our whole language); and these rules (when they can be definitely ascertained) sometimes should be broken! Thus much of writing and editing is a matter of style, or preference. Some of the information in this publication, particularly the chapter on capitalization, is a matter of style. Langley's editorial preferences are being presented when you see the words we prefer, "we" being Langley's editorial staff. I do not intend to imply that Langley's style is preferred over any other; however, if you do not have a preferred style, Langley's editorial tradition is a long and respected one.
