One of the valuable by-products of the U S. space program is the
body of knowledge concerning management of large complex
development project activities. The brief span of years since the
formation of NASA has witnessed the rapid evolution of a variety of
systems and techniques for directing the combined efforts of
thousands of individuals cooperating in closeknit programs in which
Government, university, and private industry play mutually
reinforcing roles. Many of the major learning experiences, such as
those in the Apollo management system, have been applied to other
activities within NASA. There has been only limited effort,
however, to distill the generalized management experience gained in
other NASA projects for application outside the space agency
itself. In recognition of the need for continuous improvement and
refinement of management techniques, NASA commissioned the National
Academy of Public Administration to conduct a study of the
management of the Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter projects, two of the
major NASA precursors of the Apollo program. The study was designed
to provide an analytical record supplementing the relatively
limited case literature on the practical aspects of such management
activity. An objective record of the significant milestones in the
management of these two endeavors, it was felt, would help to
inform both managers currently engaged in such activity and those
who will assume such responsibilities in the future.
