Clarke wrote a new preface in 1976 in which he admits that he had some propagandist goals in writing Prelude to Space — he was an influential member of the astronautics community when the idea of rockets leaving earth's atmosphere was scoffed at by many scientists.

The NASA logo dates back to 1959, when the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics ( NACA ) metamorphosed into an agency that would advance both astronautics and aeronautics: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Graduated from West End High School ( Birmingham, Alabama ); received a bachelor of science degree in Physics at Auburn University in 1954 ; performed graduate work in physics at Duke University and in astronautics at the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson AFB ; and awarded a master of science degree in engineering science from the University of Tennessee in 1971.

It involves a knowledge of a variety of topics and development of specialised skills including ( but not limited to ): aeronautics ; astronautics ; programs to train astronauts ; space weather and forecasting ; ship-handling and small craft handling ; operation of various equipment ; spacecraft design and construction ; atmospheric takeoff and reentry ; orbital mechanics ( aka astrodynamics ); communications ; engines and rockets ; execution of evolutions such as towing, micro-gravity construction, and space docking ; cargo handling equipment, dangerous cargoes and cargo storage ; spacewalking ; dealing with emergencies ; survival at space and first aid ; fire fighting ; life support.

* Space environment: although more a sub-discipline of physics rather than astronautics, the effects of space weather and other environmental issues constitute an increasingly important field of study for spacecraft designers.

When studying aeronautics and astronautics in the 1950s, Kármán calculated that above an altitude of roughly, a vehicle would have to fly faster than orbital velocity in order to derive sufficient aerodynamic lift from the atmosphere to support itself.

With his many ideas he became one of the founders of astronautics.

The term astronautics was coined by analogy with aeronautics.

In spite of this, astronautics did not become a practical discipline until the mid-20th century.

Although many regard astronautics itself as a rather specialized subject, engineers and scientists working in this area must be knowledgeable about many distinct fields of knowledge.
