WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency says it's seeking ideas
about how to analyze and catalog an electronic, searchable Wernher von
Braun database.
NASA is soliciting comment from the public, academia and industry on
how to create the database on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the
historic first moon landing in 1969.
Von Braun was the first director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight
Center in Huntsville, Ala., and a key figure in the development of the
Saturn V rocket and NASA's Apollo program.
"NASA has a full collection of "Weekly Notes" von Braun wrote during
the 1960s and 1970s," the space agency said. "These notes were used to
track programmatic and institutional issues at Marshall, and are
considered by many historians to be a valuable source of data."
Space agency officials say they are looking for concepts that will
provide an innovative resource for agency engineers and scientists, as
well as researchers in academia and industry.
