Space and Missile Systems Organization: A Chronology, 1954-1979.

Abstract

This chronology deals with the Space and Missile Systems Organization (SAMSO). It begins with 1954, when the first predecessor of SAMSO was established, and ends with 1979, when SAMSO was deactivated and replaced by two new organizations. The chronology is composed of three principal sections: an introductory overview, the chronology itself, and a series of appendices. The overview is a brief narrative summary of the activities of SAMSO and its predecessors. The chronology, as the name indicates, is a detailed chronicle of events and accomplishments. The various appendices are designed to amplify and clarify certain aspects of SAMSO's history. An index has been provided to assist the reader in finding specific information more readily.
