Dynasoar - X-20 Dyna-Soar The Dyna Soar project office saw it becoming a viable military system for long range weapons delivery or reconnaissance. Throughout 1960 Dyna Soar design continually gained weight and the launch vehicle was changed from a Titan I to a Tian II. (stands for DYNAmic SOARing) spaceplane was also known as the X-20. www.aerospaceguide.net /dynasoar.html

Dyna-Soar The X-20 Dynasoar (Dynamic Soaring) was a single-pilot manned spaceplane, really the earliest American manned space project to result in fabrication of hardware. The basic single pilot X-20A Dynasoar had a limited internal payload and volume (450 kg in a payload bay behind the cockpit, enough for another crew member or used for military/scientific payloads). It evolved from the German Sanger-Bredt Silverbird intercontinental skip-glide rocket bomber. www.spacestore.com /dynasoar.html

Amazon.com: Books: Dyna-Soar: Hypersonic Strategic Weapons System (Apogee Books Space Series) Because it was never completed and, thus, never flew, information on the Dyna Soar has always been hard to come by with only small articles and snippets of information surfacing from time to time. Here in one book is a vast compendium of copied primary source material relating to this program. The X-20 was one of the more interesting "might have beens" in the early days of the space race and that it was never built has more to say about the inability of the Air Force and the US government to agree upon its actual role than anything inadequate about the vehicle itself. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1896522955?v=glance

Dynasoar The Dyna Soar office completed a "stand-by" plan which would accelerate the program by employing the same booster for both suborbital and orbital flights. A 'Round 3' conference involving studies for a follow-on to the X-15 program, which subsequently led to the X-20 Dyna Soar, was held at the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara announced cancellation of the X-20 Dyna Soar project at a news briefing at the Pentagon. www.astronautix.com /craft/dynasoar.htm

X-15 First Flight: The Perspective of History While the X- 15 generally showed remarkable agreement between its flight results and those of ground predictive tools, including wind tunnels and simulators, blunt aft end drag proved 15 percent higher on the actual aircraft than tunnel tests had predicted. The NACA-NASA management team that had administered the early X- series program at the Flight Research Center was deservedly plundered to provide key personnel for the manned space effort, and, because of this-and in contrast to the Soviet space program-they brought a pronounced flight test philosophy into the running of the space program. Each technological generation has to learn this lesson for itself, however, and it is unfortunate that the seven Challenger astronauts had to pay with their lives for others' inadequate appreciation of this basic truth and seeming inability to learn from previous programs. www.hq.nasa.gov /office/pao/History/x15conf/history.html   (2402 words)

This doesn't look especially aerodynamic (as stated in the report) and the X- 20 Dyna Soar never actually flew (4).

X-20 Dyna-Soar By the end of 1962, Dyna-Soar had been given the designation "X-20", the acceleration rocket (to be used in the Dyna Soar I drop-tests) had been successfully fired, and the USAF had held an "unveiling" ceremony for the X-20 in Las Vegas. Due to the changing requirements, various forms of the Dyna Soar were designed but with all variants sharing the same basic shape and layout. On September 19, 1962, Albert Crews had been added to the Dyna-Soar program and the names of the six Dyna-Soar astronauts were announced to the public: www.tocatch.info /en/X-20_Dyna-Soar.htm   (1502 words)

Item Description He was involved in many projects and was the chief engineer for the X-20 Dyna Soar (abbreviated from "Dynamic Soaring"), a vehicle that was designed to be the world's first spaceplane. NASA officials signed their names, and Abbey (who later became the director of Johnson Space Center in Houston) inscribed: "To Bill Lamar, whose efforts made all this happen." The photograph is 16" x 20" (40.64 x 50.8 cm). The photo was given to civilian engineer William E. Lamar by George W. Abbey, director of flight operations for the National Air and Space Administration (NASA) on August 12, 1977 after the orbiter's first approach and landing test. worlddmc.ohiolink.edu /OMP/NewDetails?oid=2405396   (168 words)

Aircraft: Boeing X-20 Dyna Soar Yet much of what was needed to be accomplished in the DYNA-SOAR vehicle system (the mission) included many of the kinds of tasks normally done in a prototype mission-all in the smae class vehicle. Without making too fine a point of it, it was obvious a DYNA-SOAR as an "X" class vehicle (e.g.X-15 type)wouldn't cut-it (wouldn't do the job) and a "Y" class (e.g. The mission profile of the DYNA-SOAR included not only gathering information and data ON the flight environment but also the effects of that environment on the machine, the crew and the equipment(the "X" part). aeroweb.brooklyn.cuny.edu /specs/boeing/x-20.htm   (1663 words)

Experimental vehicles continue to push new frontiers of flight Dyna Soar actually reached the full-scale engineering mockup stage before it was canceled in December 1963 - a major blunder for American techno-logical leadership in space. In November 1957 a potential leap in technology was conceived with the Boeing X-20 Dyna Soar.

History of the Dyna-Soar The Dyna-Soar program was truly a pioneering effort, and although it was canceled in December 1963 without achieving flight, it fostered research that was later applied to the development of the space shuttle and other U.S. space systems. By 1957, virtually in tandem with the Soviet launch of Sputnik I, the Air Force had refined and consolidated these competing concepts into a system development plan for the newly named Dyna-Soar (from "dynamic ascent" and "soaring flight"), which was now seen as a follow-up to the experimental X-planes, including, most notably, the X-15. A largely forgotten aspect of this advanced program is that The Aerospace Corporation, under the direction of the Air Force, was responsible for general systems engineering/technical direction (GSE/TD) for the Dyna-Soar's proposed Titan booster—including modification of Launch Complex 20 at the Atlantic Missile Range. www.aero.org /publications/crosslink/winter2004/01.html   (2345 words)

Solar Skiff With $20 million of investment funds from computer guru Paul Allen, airplane designer Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites in Mojave, California designed and built the world's first privately financed, successful spaceplane. It was during the Apollo 14 Moon mission that he "discovered" this passion, while living just 20 miles from where Robert H. Goddard flew the first liquid fueled rocket 45 years earlier. SpaceShipOne was launced in exactly the same way as the fabled X-15 research airplane of the 1960's -- it was carried into the stratosphere by a much larger aircraft (the White Knight) and released, whereupon it ignited its own rocket engine for the boost into Space. www.solarskiff.com /solar.htm   (14127 words)

Saturn I In a postlaunch statement, Administrator Webb said: "The flight today was a splendid demonstration of the strength of our national space program and an important milestone in the buildup of our national capacity to launch heavy payloads necessary to carry out the program projected by President Kennedy on May 25.". NASA announced that the Chrysler Corporation had been chosen to build 20 Saturn first-stage (S-1) boosters similar to the one tested successfully on October 27. The U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency, Redstone Arsenal, Ala., began studies of a large clustered-engine booster to generate 1.5 million pounds of thrust, as one of a related group of space vehicles. www.fplib.org /partners/mwade/lvs/saturni.htm   (6391 words)
