A general research program to explore the technical problem of rotating manned spacecraft has been underway at the Langley Research Center for some time. A report summarizing progress on some of the more significant aspects of the work accomplished thus far was recently presented to a group of NASA personnel sharing interest in this work at a symposium held at the Langley Research Center from July 31 to August 1, 1962. The collection of papers contained in this report is a summary of the material presented. It is published in this form for the convenience of other organizations and individuals who may engaged in similar studies. It is emphasized that the investigations reported herein are exploratory in nature. There is no approved NASA program for the construction and operation of any such spacecraft.
