At a recent convention I picked up some older volumes of the TRW Space Log for a quarter. It is essentially a publication by the PR department of TRW, but it is packed with information on Spacecraft details (satellites, manned vehicles etc) Several issues have comprehensive lists of ALL space launches up to that point with this information on each: (Name, international designation, country, launch data: date, site and launch vehicle, weight, orbital data: period, perigee, apogee, inclination, and status <launch history>) I called and later wrote TRW and got several back issues, the most spectacular of which is the latest with Shuttle information (25th anniversary of space exploration, NASA) I guess it would be accurate to describe the Space Log as "a record of mankind's accomplishments in space". They only had the last few years still in stock, however, and didn't have the older issues. Does anyone in net-land know where I could get even older issues specifically ones from the sixties? (they weren't really annual as there was a 70/71 issue and a 78/79 issue). I'd appreciate any pointers or direct information. Thanks.
