摘要

In January 1959, NASA selected McDonnell Aircraft Corp. to build the vehicle that would send the first U.S. astronauts into space. By the time the U.S. space agency began taking bids to build what would become the Mercury capsule, McDonnell had been working on the design for a manned orbiter for more than a year. Then-NASA administrator T. Keith Glennan approved a human spaceflight feasibility study Oct. 7, 1958, according to Roger Launius, chairman of the space history division of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. The next day Glennan established the Space Task Group (STG) at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., under Robert Gilruth to design, procure and manage flight operations of a manned orbiter. The STG included 35 key staff members from Langley including Gilruth, who previously had worked with the U.S. Department of Defense on its Man in Space program, Launius said.

Keith Glennan)于1958年10月7日批准了一项人类航天可行性研究。第二天,格伦南在罗伯特·吉尔鲁思(Robert Gilruth)领导下,在弗吉尼亚州汉普顿的兰利研究中心成立了太空任务组(STG),以设计,采购和管理载人轨道飞行器的飞行操作。劳尼乌斯说,该小组包括兰利在内的35名主要工作人员,其中包括吉尔鲁思,后者此前曾与美国国防部就其太空人计划进行过合作。
