| The Saturn launch vehicles, the Lunar Roving Vehicle, Skylab, and the
MSFC participation in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project provided the Marshall
Center with experience in diversified areas of expertise. The development
of the High Energy Astronomy Observatories further demonstrated the Center's
diverse capabilities. Launched in 1977, 1978, and 1979, the three HEAO
satellites added greatly to the body of scientific knowledge about the
universe. They provided a new perspective and understanding of cosmic,
gamma, and x-rays in space. |
