EDITORIAL INFORMATION

This sixth volume of the NASA Historical Data Book is a continuation of earlier efforts. This fundamental reference tool presents information, much of it statistical, documenting the development of several critical areas of NASA responsability for the period between 1979 and 1988. This volume includes detailed information on the space applications effort, the development and operation of aeronautics and space research and technology programs, tracking and data/acqusition/space operations, commercial programs, facilities and installations, personnel, and finances and procurement during this era.
