STS-51-F (also known as Spacelab 2) was the 19th flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the eighth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger. It launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 29 July 1985, and landed just under eight days later on 6 August 1985. While STS-51-F's primary payload was the Spacelab 2 laboratory module, the payload that received the most publicity was the Carbonated Beverage Dispenser Evaluation, which was an experiment in which both Coca-Cola and Pepsi tried to make their carbonated drinks available to astronauts. A helium-cooled infrared telescope (IRT) was also flown on this mission, and while it did have some problems, it observed 60% of the galactic plane in infrared light. During launch Challenger experienced multiple sensor failures in its center RS-25 engine, which led to it shutting down and the shuttle had to perform an "Abort to Orbit" (ATO) emergency procedure. It is the only Shuttle mission to have carried out an abort after launching. The mission was carried out at a lower orbital altitude. The main objective was to verify performance of Spacelab systems, determine the interface capability of the orbiter, and measure the environment created by the spacecraft. Experiments covered life sciences, physics, astronomy, high-energy astrophysics, solar physics, atmospheric physics and technology. The flight marked the first time the European Space Agency Instrument Pointing System was tested in orbit. The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), located in Huntsville, Alabama, is the U.S. government's civilian rocketry and spacecraft propulsion research center. As the largest NASA center, MSFC's first mission was developing the Saturn launch vehicles for the Apollo program. Marshall has been the lead center for the Space Shuttle main propulsion and external tank; payloads and related crew training; International Space Station (ISS) design and assembly; computers, networks, and information management; and the Space Launch System (SLS). Located on the Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, MSFC is named in honor of General of the Army George C. Marshall. The center contains the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC), also known as the International Space Station Payload Operations Center. This facility supports ISS launch, payload, and experiment activities at the Kennedy Space Center. The HOSC also monitors rocket launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station when a Marshall Center payload is on board. In addition to the pallet experiments flown on the Space Shuttle, many other experiments were performed onboard Spacelab. This was a reusable laboratory consisting of multiple components, including a pressurized module, an unpressurized carrier, and other related hardware. Under a program overseen by MSFC, ten Europeans nations jointly designed, built, and financed the first Spacelab through the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO. In addition, Japan funded a Spacelab for STS-47, a dedicated mission. Over a 15-year period, Spacelab components flew on 22 shuttle missions, the last in April 1998. In early 1990, MSFC's Spacelab Mission Operations Control Center was formed to control all Spacelab missions, replacing the Payload Operations Control Center formerly situated at the JSC from which previous Spacelab missions were operated.

Contents summarized upon [page 1] "The report established a comprehensive set of equations suited for a large variety of rigid body dynamics and trajectory problems of guided missile flights . . ." Feature a total of twelve chapters divided among two sections titled as "Basic Concepts and Theoretical Development of One Generalized Approach to Treating Trajectory Determination Problems" and "Accumulation of Detailed Systems of Equations Associated with Various Typical Problems of Flight Trajectory Calculations" plus three appendices. A good+ copy. As evidenced by the front cover date of May 10, 1961, this publication shows that NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center was researching the applied mathematics of orbital trajectory mechanics before President John F. Kennedy's May 25, 1961 speech declaring the United States's goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him to Earth by the end of the decade. Page 218 indicates that Ernest D. Geissler was the Director of the Aeroballistics Division at the time of the Note's release although a Google search turns up a citation that William E. Miner eventually served as chief of the Astrodynamics and Guidance Theory Division at the Huntsville facility.…
