Official ‘NASA Technical Memorandum’ book entitled “Terrestrial Environment (Climatic) Criteria Guidelines for Use in Aerospace Vehicle Development, 1973 Revision” by Glenn E. Daniels (NASA ™ X-64757), 454 pages, 8 x 10.5, dated July 5, 1973. The book contains 19 sections: Introduction; Thermal; Humidity; Precipitation; Wind (the longest section at 168 pages); Abrasion; Atmospheric Pressure (Surface); Atmospheric Density (Surface); Atmospheric Electricity; Atmospheric Corrosion; Fungi and Bacteria; Atmospheric Oxidants; Atmospheric Composition; Inflight Thermodynamic Properties; Distribution of Surface Extremes in the United States; Atmospheric Attenuation Relative to Earth-Viewing Orbital Sensors; Worldwide Surface Extremes; Severe Weather, Sea State, and Selected Climatologies; and Environment Hazard Estimates.
The book’s opening abstract reads: “This document provides guidelines on probable climatic extremes and probabilities-of-occurrence of terrestrial environment data specifically applicable for NASA space vehicles and associated equipment development. The geographic areas encompassed are The Eastern Test Range (Cape Kennedy, Florida); Huntsville, Alabama; New Orleans, Louisiana; The Space and Missile Test Center (Vandenberg AFB California); Sacramento, California; Wallops Test Range (Wallops Island, Virginia); White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico; and intermediate transportation areas. In addition, sections have been included to provide information on the general distribution of natural environment extremes in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), cloud cover, and some worldwide climatic extremes. Although all these areas are covered, the major emphasis is given to the Kennedy Space Center launch area and Vandenburg Air Force Base due to importance in NASA's future large space vehicle programs.” In fine condition, with light marks and wear to spine and covers.
