Beyond the Atmosphere: Early Years of Space Science



APPENDIX A

Membership of Rocket and Satellite Research Panel

[414-417] V-2 Upper Atmosphere Panel and V-2 Upper Atmosphere Research Panel until March 1948. From March 1948 until 29 April 1957, Upper Atmosphere Rocket Research Panel. After 29 April 1957, Rocket and Satellite Research Panel. The panel never disbanded; in 1960 it simply ceased operating.
