Context

Country: United States of America
State/Province: Virginia
Period: June 18-19, 1963
Canada: On June 18-19, 1963, NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia held a conference on research related to Apollo’s Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). The conference featured presentations on topics such as lunar orbital entry and descent, lunar landing, take-off, rendezvous and docking, operational considerations, and facilities. This pass belonged to Owen Maynard, a Canadian engineer who started at NASA as an Aeronautical Research Engineer for the Space Task Group, working first on Project Mercury before turning to the Apollo Program. He became integral to the early design of the Apollo Command and Lunar Modules and was the first person to begin working on the design of the Lunar Module in 1961. Although Maynard did not present at this conference, this pass provides material evidence of his participation in the event as he was intimately involved in the design of the LEM as Chief of Spacecraft Integration at the Manned Spacecraft Center’s Spacecraft Technology Division. Maynard also served as Chief of the LEM Engineering Office around this time before becoming Chief of Systems Engineering in the Apollo Program Office in 1964.
Function: To identify an individual and allow them access into NASA’s Langley Research Center Conference on Research Related to Apollo-Lunar Excursion Module on June 18-19, 1963.
Technical: The card is covered in a clear plastic to protect it from wear. The pin on the back of the card allows users to pin it to their clothing, implying the card was meant to be kept visibly on their person.
Area Notes: Unknown
