I just stumbled across this early 1950's jet flying boat design on the NTRS. Does anyone know anything more about it?

NASA's long term mission plans involved space-voyages lasting for several years. While Apollo would provide some information on the effect of weightlessness on the human body over short periods of time, the full effects of longer periods was considered an especial concern.
To study the effects...
Hi,
here is a two reports about Vought Spanloader flying-wing aircraft project of
late of 1970s,it was powered by six engined,all details are in them;

The study of the DL-4A was an attempt to design a relatively low-cost recovery system using a sailwing that would enable horizontal landings without the weight penalties of a rigid variable geometry system.

NASAs pre-Apollo program underwent a number of changes as the need to reach the moon before the Russians came to dominate the program.
One concept, that was studied and not proceeded with was mounting a small (100lb) rover to a modified Surveyor. It was to be fitted with small scientific...
