Abbey, George W.

McCurdy, Howard

1987-11-10 Abbey being detailed to NASA from the US Air

Force (USAF), difference of

in house engineering skill between NASA and USAF,

change within NASA

towards more contracting out of engineering at operational

centers, success of Apollo

program being attention to

detail, changes in NASA

testing philosophy, increasing

complexity and bureaucracy of management at NASA

since Apollo era, Shuttle

design changes as a result of NASA budget cuts, failure to

include operational costs in

Shuttle program estimates, differences in capabilities and

level of complexity between

Skylab and Space Station Freedom (SSF), advantage to

NASA having operational

and design engineers located and working together, Shuttle

still an experimental vehicle

subject to modification, NASA focus shift from using

proven technology to

advancing technology without a practical use in

mind, Abbey decision to go

to Naval Academy and join USAF as pilot afterward

early 1970s, searching for

lower cost alternatives to fully reusable two stage

Shuttle design, end of Shuttle

concept as primarily space station focused, deciding on

types of missions/payloads

for Shuttle without a space station, decision to switch to

stage and a half partially

reusable Shuttle design, cost as driver for Shuttle design,

formation of Shuttle payload

pricing policy, applicability of Shuttle pricing policy to

Space Station Freedom

McCurdy,

Howard

1987-08-20 Culbertson's education as an

engineer, work at General Dynamics on Atlas launch

vehicle, decision to join

NASA in 1965, division director for advanced Apollo

studies, NASA's ability to

attract exceptional personnel in the 1960s due to

uniqueness of challenge and

mission, NASA now less attractive because of diversity

of opportunities in aerospace

engineering and increasing bureaucratization of NASA,

high risk and failure rates in

1960s acceptable due to newness of space flight, man-

rating the Atlas launch

vehicle, NASA processes for

ensuring reliability, since

1960s NASA management

capability strengthened and in-house technical capability

weakened, Space Shuttle and

space station requiring ability to accept failure and create

work-arounds because of

long life time of spacecraft, origins of system failures

being primarily result of

environments and events occurring that were

unanticipated or not required

to anticipate during design, problem of complacency in

long lasting programs,

balancing technology used between new inventions and

off-the-shelf, effect of push

to develop Shuttle on other NASA programs, whether


Shuttle safety compromised

by reduced NASA budgets, whether space flight

programs can be justified on

basis of being cost effective

1987-11-11 Gilruth starting his career at

Langley Research Center (LaRC) as a flight testing

engineer, working his way

through an aeronautical engineering degree during the

Great Depression, forming

the Space Task Group (STG), manned space flight

reliability testing and

acceptance of risk during Mercury, Gemini, and

Apollo; Gilruth's view that

NASA had not lost in-house technical capability after

Apollo due to fact that NASA

not building manned aircraft or spacecraft, "human

computers", Gilruth's belief

that Apollo was too risky to


continue safely, not needing

to justify cost-effectiveness of manned space flight before

Shuttle program, public

opinion of space program, difficulties with choosing

good managers for technical
