Excerpt from Nasa Historical Data Book, Vol. 7: Nasa Launch Systems, Space Transportation/Human Spaceflight, and Space Science 1989-1998
A large group of people assisted in preparing this volume and should be recognized. Most valuable and essential was my research assistant, Tai Edwards, who gathered material, organized it superbly, entered data into tables, and proofed and edited draft chapters, all while attending graduate school and getting married. It would have been impossible to deal with the quantity of information I faced without her help. The nasa History Division archivists, Colin Fries, John Hargenrader, Liz Suckow, and chief archivist Jane Odom, helped gather information. Stephen Garber managed the project and dealt with contractual matters. Interns Matt Barrow and Clare Kim also helped shepherd this project through the production cycle. Nadine Andreassen assisted in a myriad of ways.
