Transferred from the Public Affairs Division in July 2004.
The Ames Astrogram is an official publication of the NASA Ames Research Center. It
began publication in October 1958, the first month that Ames Research Center began
operating as part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Although the
research center started in 1939 as the NACA Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, there was
no newsletter prior to 1958.
The purpose of the Astrogram is to improve the communication among Ames employees by
informing employees of events at NASA Ames as well as events that are NASA-wide. The
Astrogram also provides news of NASA Ames employees and activities.
From its first issue in 1958 through February 2002, the Astrogram was published
every other Thursday. Beginning in March 2002 and continuing to the present, the
Astrogram is published once a month at the beginning of the month, reporting the
previous month's activities and events. Beginning in October 2007, the Astrogram is published in electronic format only, and
is available on the NASA Amed Web site.
In its first years, the Astrogram was a joint effort of the NASA Ames Photo Branch
and Administrative Service, with the Personnel Branch providing editing services.
Today, the Astrogram is the responsibility of the NASA Ames Public Affairs
Division.
