Subseries V.B. JPL Program Summaries

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's 37- series Space Program Summary publications summarized JPL's activities in support of NASA operations. Issues 37-1 through 37-14 were organized in two volumes: Volume I contained unclassified material while Volume II contain material classified "Confidential." Issues 37-15 through 37-46 were organized into six volumes: Volumes I, II, and V contained material classified "Confidential," Volume III covered the Deep Space Instrumentation Facility (DSIF; later renamed Deep Space Network, DSN), Volume IV contained unclassified material on Supporting Research and Advanced Development, and Volume VI covered Space Exploration Programs and Space Sciences. Issue 37-47 and later were organized into four volumes: Volume I covered Flight Projects, Volume II the Deep Space Network, Volume III covered Support Research and Advanced Development, and Volume IV contained any classified material. This subseries contains volumes specifically covering the DSIF/DSN - Volume III for issue 37-15 through 37-46 and Volume II for issue 37-47 and subsequent. For summary volumes covering spaceflight projects, see subseries IV.B. (Space Science and Applications - JPL Program Summaries). For summary volumes covering other JPL development activities, see subseries VI.B. (Advanced Research and Technology). For other issues, see also the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Publications Collection (NASM Accession XXXX-0612), Series X. Documents in this subseries are arranged chronologically.
