Series Description

Boxes 1-3, 8.

PP04.12-1 I. Pioneer Project 1969-1997.

Scope and Content Note

This series is arranged into two subseries documenting Hogan’s successive assignments during the ten years he served as the NASA Ames representative at TRW Defense and Space Systems Group, a member of the operations branch during the Pioneer 10 and 11 Jupiter Encounters, and ultimately Flight Director for the Pioneer 11 Saturn Encounter.
The first subseries consists of one folder of miscellaneous documents and photographs providing program overviews of the Pioneer Project.
The second subseries focuses on various aspects of Pioneer 10 and 11 in several formats, from the ephemera, news clippings, and newsreels testifying to the scientific success and public popularity of these missions to the slides and photographs depicting novel images of the planets Jupiter and Saturn. Of particular note are the documents and photographs that provide detailed information on the planning and preparation of the dedicated team that made the Pioneer 11 Saturn Encounter possible.
Boxes 4-7.

PP04.12-2 II. Space Life Sciences Program 1985-1996.

Scope and Content Note

This series is arranged into three subseries documenting Hogan’s involvement as Chief of the Research Animal Holding Facility (RAHF) Project Office and Deputy Chief of the Space Life Sciences Payloads Office (SLSPO) in the research, construction, testing, and deployment of RAHFs on successive shuttle missions.
The first subseries documents the phases of the RAHF Project, from the establishment of design requirements for the responsible use of animal subjects in space research to the preliminary design review and ultimately the critical design review, which addressed the RAHF malfunctions occurring during the STS-51B/Spacelab-3 mission in 1985.
The second subseries documents the Rhesus Project (also known as the LPF or Large Primate Facility Project), a joint undertaking between the NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) and the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) of France. The project plans, supporting project data, Rhesus Research Facility (RRF) requirements, termination plan, and final report trace this joint effort to study the biomedical changes in rhesus monkeys during spaceflight.
The third subseries primarily concerns two Spacelab Missions, the STS-51B/Spacelab-3 on board the Space Shuttle Challenger in April-May 1985 and the STS-40/Spacelab Life Sciences-1 on board the Space Shuttle Columbia in June 1991. Of note are the follow-up reports, reviews, and memoranda thoroughly documenting the successes and failures of the first RAHF installed in Spacelab-3, as well as the in-flight photographs of the seven astronauts performing their experiments in the SLS-1.
