* A note regarding NASA SP-7, the Dictionary of Technical Terms for Aerospace Use
Early on in the development of the AS&T Dictionary, it was thought that the NASA SP-7 dictionary should be included in its entirety. Although published over 30 years ago, this resource is rich in information that is still valid today. In addition, there are hundreds of entries that relate to concepts of historical significance--reflecting the terminology of the first half century of aviation and astronautics. To ensure easy identification, a Source Note indicating "NASA SP-7, 1965" will appear after each term extracted from this source. The Forward and Introduction to the original 1965 publication, written by the editor William H. Allen and the then-director of the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Division, Melvin S. Day, has been included for reference.
Special recognition must be given to Daniel R. Glover, Jr. and the other team members from the NASA Glenn Research Center who were responsible for the original conversion of NASA SP-7 to electronic form. Without their effort, inclusion of this important source in the first edition of the AS&T dictionary would not have been possible.
