1965 NASA Apollo SNAP Nuclear Safety Reentry Report Sandia Cornell Aero Lab⁠ For Sale

This October 1962 technical note from Brown Engineering Company in Huntsville, Alabama (Technical Note R-13), prepared for the Army Missile Command and ARPA Re-Entry Physics Section, details mathematical derivations for laminar and turbulent hypersonic aerodynamic heating rates. This document comes directly from the personal working library of renowned Apollo heat-shield engineer and Aerotherm co-founder Eugene "Gene" P. Bartlett (1932–2024). Bartlett pioneered charring-ablator heat-shield mathematics for NASA and Aerotherm, directly supporting thermal protection systems for the Apollo 11 lunar landings. Featuring Gene Bartlett's handwritten signature on the cover alongside his personal spine notations, cataloging codes, and official Acurex Library stamps (#016524), this plastic comb-bound report offers exceptional provenance for Apollo program and heat-shield history collectors.
