While flying the Manned Maneuvering Unit, Lloyd's control inputs not only take place after the movements begin, but are also the opposite of what they should be, to match the preflight test shown a moment before.

In August 1962, SAAMA " loaned " the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) six aircraft-two F-102s, two TF102s and two T33s-so the astronauts at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center could maintain their flying proficiency.

So Gilruth was given authority to grow his organization into a new NASA center, the Manned Spacecraft Center ( MSC ).

Colonel Charles Edward (" Chuck ") Jones ( November 4, 1952 – September 11, 2001 ) was a United States Air Force officer, a computer programmer, and an astronaut in the USAF Manned Spaceflight Engineer Program.

He entered the USAF Manned Spaceflight Engineer program in 1982, and was scheduled to fly on mission STS-71-B in December 1986, but the mission was cancelled after the Challenger Disaster in January 1986.

* The first untethered spacewalk was made by American Bruce McCandless II on February 7, 1984, during Challenger mission STS-41-B, utilizing the Manned Maneuvering Unit.

An earlier project which received some significant planning by NASA included a manned fly-by of Venus in the Manned Venus Flyby mission, but was cancelled when the Apollo Applications Program was terminated due to NASA budget cuts in the late 1960s.

The Skylab project, managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Marshall Space Flight Center, was seen by the Manned Spacecraft Center ( later Johnson Space Center ) as an invasion of its historical role as the NASA center for manned spaceflight.

The first flight of Columbia ( STS-1 ) was commanded by John Young, a Gemini and Apollo veteran who was the ninth person to walk on the Moon in 1972, and piloted by Robert Crippen, a rookie astronaut originally selected to fly on the military's Manned Orbital Laboratory ( MOL ) spacecraft, but transferred to NASA after its cancellation, and served as a support crew member for the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions.

The use of Lunar Orbiters for tracking to evaluate the Manned Space Flight Network tracking stations and Apollo Orbit Determination Program was successful, with three Lunar Orbiters ( 2, 3, and 5 ) being tracked simultaneously from August to October 1967.

Manned by Marines from Camp Pendleton, its primary mission was to prepare the new base for the arrival of permanent personnel.

Space Launch Complex 6 ( SLC-6, pronounced as " Slick Six "), originally built for the abandoned Manned Orbital Laboratory project, was extensively modified for shuttle operations.

Another major NASA facility, the Manned Spacecraft Center ( MSC ) located near Houston, Texas, was officially opened in September 1963.

Meanwhile, the U. S. Air Force was pursuing the Manned Orbiting Laboratory ( MOL ), a small space station with a two-man crew, primarily intended for photo reconnaissance.

The Soyuz succeeded the Voskhod spacecraft and was originally built as part of the Soviet Manned Lunar programme.

It was also the final manned flight controlled from Cape Canaveral, Florida before mission control functions were shifted to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas.

George Mueller, the head of the NASA Office of Manned Space Flight at that time, was a systems engineer who previously worked on military missile projects, recognized all-up testing was successfully used to rapidly develop the Air Force's Minuteman ICBM program, and thought it could be used to meet Apollo's schedule.

The most famous example is the Apollo 13 mission, where limited battery power and inability to use the spacecraft's high gain antennas reduced signal levels below the capability of the Manned Space Flight Network, and the use of the biggest DSN antennas ( and the Australian Parkes Observatory radio telescope ) was critical to saving the lives of the astronauts.

Although normally tasked with tracking unmanned spacecraft, the Deep Space Network ( DSN ) also contributed to the communication and tracking of Apollo missions to the Moon, although primary responsibility was held by the Manned Space Flight Network.

MOOSE, originally an acronym for Man Out Of Space Easiest but later changed to the more professional-sounding Manned Orbital Operations Safety Equipment, was a proposed emergency " bail-out " system capable of bringing a single astronaut safely down from Earth orbit to the planet's surface.

The program was used by NASA's Houston Manned Spacecraft Center for documentation on the Apollo space program ( van Dam, 1988 ).

Worden went on to work at Ames Research Center and Scott was placed in the Manned Spacecraft Center.

It was also planned to be used for the Manned Orbital Laboratory program, which was cancelled in 1969.

He is also a graduate of the USAF Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California, and was an instructor there prior to his assignment in 1966 to the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory ( MOL ) program as an astronaut.

The mission also included flight testing of Manned Maneuvering Units ( MMUs ) in two extravehicular activities ( EVAs ), and operation of the Cinema 360 and IMAX Camera Systems.

The mission also included flight testing of Manned Maneuvering Units ( MMU's ) in two extravehicular activities ( EVA's ); operation of the Cinema 360 and IMAX Camera Systems, as well as a Bee Hive Honeycomb Structures student experiment.

The mission also included flight testing of Manned Maneuvering Units ( MMUs ) in two extravehicular activities ( EVAs ); operation of the Cinema 360 and IMAX Camera Systems, as well as a Bee Hive Honeycomb Structures student experiment.

It was also equipped to collect selenodetic, radiation intensity, and micrometeoroid impact data and was used to evaluate the Manned Space Flight Network tracking stations and Apollo Orbit Determination Program.

The Apollo Manned Survey Mission proposed an Earth-observation science module also based on the LM ascent stage, and would also have been launched using a S-IVB vehicle into a high-inclination orbit.

He was also in the United States Air Force's Manned Orbiting Laboratory program.

Philco Aeronutronic became NASA's primary communications equipment vendor during the 1960s, also building the consoles in the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.

During the press conference, the astronauts answered questions pertaining to several technical and non-technical aspects of the mission prepared and listed by priority at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston by journalists covering the flight.

DoD wanted its own manned facility, however, and in December it announced Manned Orbital Laboratory ( MOL ), a small space station primarily intended for photo reconnaissance using large telescopes directed by a two-man crew.

Glenn is honored by President Kennedy at temporary Manned Spacecraft Center facilities at Cape Canaveral, Florida, three days after his flight.

The lack of interest by Congress, and subsequent lack of funding, cut out most of the proposed activities – such as Manned Venus Flyby – but an orbital workshop remained of interest.

Manned large buildings award bonus points based on various game conditions ( such as the Fortress, which gives one victory point for every three colonists on the player board, or the City Hall, which awards a point for every small or large violet building owned by the player ).

Manned by experienced coal miners from across the country, they operated with great success until 1917, when after the fixed positions broke, they built deep dugouts such as the Vampire dugout to protect troops from heavy shelling.

Manned models are small scale models that can carry and be handled by at least one person on an open expanse of water.

The Manned Maneuvering Unit ( MMU ) is an astronaut propulsion unit which was used by NASA on three space shuttle missions in 1984.

A Titan II GLV | Titan II launch vehicle lifts Gemini 4 into orbit, June 3, 1965. Launched from LC-19 at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida, Gemini 4 was the first flight to be controlled by the new Mission Control Center at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, which had to conduct three-shift operations due to the flight's long duration.

This was the first ' rocket pack ' and a predecessor of the Manned Maneuvering Unit used by Shuttle astronauts in the 1980s.

The device was not finally tested in space until a modified version called the Manned Maneuvering Unit ( MMU ) was flown by astronaut Bruce McCandless on Shuttle Mission STS-41-B in 1984, 18 years later.
