REVIEW OF THE THIRD MANNED SPACE FLIGHT MEETING,

Abstract

The Third Manned Space Flight Meeting, sponsored jointly by the AIAA and NASA, was held in Houston in November 1964. The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs were discussed. Special emphasis was given to advanced plan ning for the manned space program in the post-Apollo period. The three areas of major manned effort after the initial landings on the moon are (1) extensions of the lunar program to include exploration and exploitation of the lunar surface, (2) development of earth orbital operations, and (3) a manned interplanetary program, probably directed initially at Mars.
