hen Congress created NASA 25 years ago, it directed that the information derived
from the agency's pursuit of knowledge through space exploration and aeronautical
research be made available to all Americans.
One way of making these research results available has been through a series of scientific
and technical publications. One series, purposely labeled "special," presents material
whose scope and significance simply outgrew the bounds of customary research reports and
journal articles. In fact, some of the more prestigious Special Publications have exceeded
the bounds of pure science and engineering, satisfying as well the interests of a more
general audience.
The Special Publications produced by NASA since the early 1960's have enjoyed world-
wide recognition. They report on the research and development in communications,
energy, materials processing, planetology, and astronomy, as well as in aeronautics and
aerospace. Man,,, of these publications possess uncommon values that will endure for dec-
ades to come. It is appropriate to list them now as a convenient reference of past
accomplishments on the occasion of NASA's twenty-fifth anniversary.

Preface
he purpose of this booklet is to list all the Special Publications that NASA has pub-
lished since the series began in 1961. The series has included some of NASA's most
ambitious scientific and technical books, and includes a broad range of topics that covers
NASA's work in research and development. Since this edition of the list will be published
during NASA's twenty-fifth anniversary, a special section has been included which relates
the Special Publications series to some of NASA's achievements.
Special Publications were created as NASA began to produce information in a format
that did not quite fit the pattern of technical reports. NASA had caught the public's atten-
tion with its beginning steps in space exploration, and needed a vehicle that presented a
total picture to those outside particular areas of expertise. There were many subjects that an
increasingly educated public wanted to know about. They found a niche in the Special
Publications series.
The Special Publications series bloomed with mission reports, aerodynamic treatises,
structural analyses, planetary atlases, conference proceedings, and extensive reference
T- F material. By the midseventies, it became obvious that the latter two needed separate series, '_
_ and so Conference Publications and Reference Publications were created. All are listed
here.
When particular books were being created, it was obvious that the)' would be best sellers.
Sure enough, Exploring Space wzth a Camera, which gave the public an early look at the
Earth photographed from space, sold 124,000 copies before it was allowed to go out of
print. Photographic techniques were improving, and the images in later books were far
better. Along came Tht) Island Earth; it is 12 years old and is still selling well (71,000
copies). Apollo Expediltons To The Moon has sold 46,000 copies. Still moving quickly off
_: !,., ,., the bookstore shelves are Mission to Earth: Landsat Views the World, the Skylab series, The T
-' Martian Landscape, Voyage toJupiter, and Voyages to Saturn. There were some surprises,
however; who would have forseen the success of such unassuming titles as Clart?y in Tech-
nical Reporting or Soldertng Electrtcal Connecttbns?
Although the books with space imagery sell best, other Special Publications are of wide
interest for either the scientist or the educated public, and these are also printed and sold
through the Government Printing Office. Some of the technical subjects are presented
with the layperson in mind, while others are deemed classics for reference in particular
disciplines. Still others, just as important, but not generating interest outside a narrow area
r-- - v- "" of expertise, are printed and made available from the National Technical Information
a,, A_ A
Service. Photocopies of books no longer available through GPO are also available at NTIS. ,,
In the list of publications that follows, a brief description is given together with the origi-
nal sales source and the publication date. The prices are not listed because the)' change.
Phone or write GPO or NTIS for prices of publications that interest you. GPO will want to
know the NASA SP number; NTIS will want to know the seven-digit NASA accession
number. When you find an attractive title, take care to notice the date of publication.
Many books are out of date, and are of historical value only. For example some books on
Mars predate the 1976 Viking mission.

that go into the research, writing, and production of books. But as you look through the
list and find titles that interest you, think of the curiosity and diligence that result in ad-
vances in science and technology and the subsequent effort and care that produce the
record.

so, NASA's inaugural flight was far from being a

Earth. Pioneer's instruments radioed back the first

Center. And it built a new Manned Spacecraft
Center (now Johnson Space Center) near Houston.
Even as NASA was being organized, teams were
developing a plan to put one man alone into a tiny,
bell-shaped spacecraft and orbit him around the
Earth. This was Project Mercury, and for the times,
it was at once courageous, ambitious, confident,
and frightening.
In 1959, after an exhaustive search, NASA
selected seven military test pilots to become space
travelers for Project Mercury. They became known
as the Original Seven: Scott Carpenter, Gordon
Cooper, John Glenn, Virgil Grissom, Alan
Shepard, Walter Schirra, and Donald Slayton.
,-r r Because no one knew what rigors or dangers a
human being would face from zero gravity, radia-
tion, or the still-unknown secrets of orbital flight,
their training was intense. At the same time, the
Mercury spacecraft was developed. For early flight
tests NASA selected the small Redstone rocket, and
decided that the primary rocket for orbital flights
would be the Atlas missile.
By early 1961, chimpanzees had flown in place of
astronauts to verif 3' that the Mercury spacecraft l"
n_m worked as planned. But the crucial decision to fly a
man was still debated. It was left to President John
Kennedy to weigh the risks. As arguments raged,
the Soviet Union did it again; an unknown
cosmonaut named Yuri Gargarin was rocketed
aloft, orbited the Earth a single time, and returned
to a hero's welcome. Within a week, Kennedy
called a White House meeting and heard the
arguments one last time. Then he nodded ap- f

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard was secured into
