Subseries III.D.6. Manned Interplanetary Concepts |
|
This subseries consists of documents and studies relating to planning for the manned exploration of space beyond the Earth-Moon system. Materials are filed chronologically by study. Where the material includes parallel or competing studies (such as the "Early Manned Interplanetary Mission Study" (below), contracts for which were awarded to both General Dynamics and Lockheed), such studies are filed in their normal chronological place but the name of the relevant contractor is appended to the study title in brackets. | ||
