Item description from seller

Includes: illustrations, diagrams. Various paginations (approximately 200 pages). Glossary of Astronautical Terms. List of references. From Wikipedia: "TRW Inc. was an American corporation involved in a variety of businesses, mainly aerospace, automotive, and credit reporting. It was a pioneer in multiple fields including electronic components, integrated circuits, computers, software and systems engineering. TRW built many spacecraft, including Pioneer 1, Pioneer 10, and several space-based observatories. TRW s roots were founded in 1901, and it lasted for more than a century until being acquired by Northrop Grumman in 2002. In 1953, the company was recruited to lead the development of America s first ICBM. Starting with the initial design by Convair, the multi-corporate team launched Atlas in 1957 after some spectacular failures. It flew its full range in 1958, and was adapted to fly the Mercury astronauts into orbit. TRW also led development of the Titan missile, which was later adapted to fly the Gemini missions. The company served the US Air Force as systems engineers on all subsequent ICBM development efforts, but TRW never produced any missile hardware because of the conflict of interest. In 1960, Congress spurred the formation of the non-profit The Aerospace Corporation to provide systems engineering to the US government, but TRW continued to guide the ICBM efforts." Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some corners creased.…
