Identifier: 2023-09-20
The Nancy S. Hammond Space Shuttle Programs Collection documents the career of Nancy Hammond while employed with the Boeing Aerospace Company on NASA contracts. Hammond was part of a group responsible for tracking the progress of scheduled tasks to complete the Inertial Upper Stage rocket to be attached to the TDRS-A (Tracking, Data, and Relay) Satellite to be launched on the Space Shuttle STS-6. This collection, which dates from 1969-1993, consists of printed ephemera, manual drafts, reports, notebooks, cacheted philatelic covers, press kits, photographs, photographic slides, mission maps, posters, printed ephemera, clippings, and decals. The records in the collection give insight into Hammond’s involvement in the space industry, specifically her contribution to the IUS rocket and TDRS-A Satellite programs.
